Samsung Korea posts Galaxy S II Jelly Bean update details, but not the release date

Samsung [Galaxy S II](http://www.engadget.com/tag/galaxysii/) owners waiting for an update that adds features (instead of [taking them away](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/30/t-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-update-removed-universal-search/)) may not have long to wait, now that support pages for the official Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update -- [announced months ago](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/24/samsung-rolling-jelly-bean-toward-most-of-its-smartphone-tablet/) -- have been found on the company's Korean website. Listing details for all three local carriers, the update will arrive via KIES and change the amount of available internal memory from 12GB to 11GB. Other than the usual list of Android 4.1 features, it will also preload the Google+ and some additional Play apps while adding Samsung features like [Smart Stay](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-s-voice-smartstay-galaxy-siii/). There's no word yet on exactly when the official update will arrive (or a schedule for rollout on [US carrier editions](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/galaxy-s-ii-for-sprint-atandt-and-t-mobile-hands-on/)), but once it's out in Korea it shouldn't take much for owners of the GT-I9100 international version to try it out as well.
