Android 4.2 reaches some Galaxy Nexus phones early, grab the GSM version here

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/android-4-2-galaxy-nexus-file-download/)

As Google Play [groans under the clicks](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/nexus-4-and-10-hit-australian-google-play-store-first-20-nexus/) of early shoppers, Google's apparently got its software sorted too. A new [Android 4.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/) file for the [Galaxy Nexus](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/) over at _XDA-Developers_ matches reports we've had from users who have already been gifted the latest version of [Jelly Bean](http://www.engadget.com/tag/JellyBean/) over-the-air. Now, this is the '[takju](http://www.engadget.com/tag/takju/)' version, meaning it's meant for GSM devices ordered directly from Google, although the phone meddlers at_ XDA-Developers_ already have all the details needed to make the switch to this specific iteration. Sure you've got the right GSM Galaxy Nexus? Then, once you've read all the instructions and warnings from those aforementioned developers, you can pick up the download at the source below.
