Official: Sprint Galaxy Nexus getting Jelly Bean update today

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/06/sprint-galaxy-nexus-jelly-bean-update/)

Well, well, would you look at that? Staying true to what [we'd heard yesterday](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/sprint-jelly-bean-update-galaxy-nexus-nexus-s-4g/), it appears that long-awaited [Android 4.1](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/android-4-1-jelly-bean-review-a-look-at-whats-changed-in-googl/) refresh is finally making its way to Sprint's own flavor of the [Galaxy Nexus](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/sprint-galaxy-nexus-review/). As expected, the Jelly Bean update brings a slew of familiar, but rather marvelous features to the [Now Network's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Sprint/) GNex, including Google Now, an improved notification and voice search system, offline dictation and, of course, a smoother UI that's made possible by Mountain View's now-famed [Project Butter](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/project-butter-improves-android-4-1s-speed/). Unfortunately, we can't say the same about the [Nexus S 4G](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/24/google-nexus-s-4g-for-sprint-hands-on/), as the 4.1.x goods are still MIA for this device -- however, we'll be sure to let you know if that changes any time soon. In the meantime, those lucky Sprint Galaxy Nexus owners can eagerly "check now" for updates on their handset, and don't forget to tell us how much you're liking it so far.
