Everyone [loves a software update](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/06/android-4-1-update-original-galaxy-note/) right? Even better when [it's an official one](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/25/refresh-roundup-week-of-november-19th-2012/). So, [Galaxy Note II](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/08/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-review/) owners will be pleased as punch to know that [Android 4.1.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/android-4-1-2-goes-live-gives-nexus-7-owners-landscape-home-screen/) is now finding its way to the international variant (GT-N7100) of the handset. You might not think a 0.0.1 refresh will be all that snazzy, but word is that there's actually a reasonable amount of newness going on. This includes the elements we'd expect from 4.1.2, but also some Samsung-specific bits, such as the ability to disable Multi-View, new items in the notification toggles, a customizable notification panel, a new ink effect on the lock screen, and Swype-style typing (without even [waiting for 4.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/)). It's possible you might not see the update right away, but might not hurt to have Kies on hand all the same.
