[![Android 422 Jelly Bean update incoming for Verizon's Galaxy Nexus, rollout to begin 'in phases' today](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/2011-12-16-nexusmaindsc04902.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/19/android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-update-verizons-galaxy-nexus/)

[Verizon's Galaxy Nexus](http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/verizon-galaxy-nexus-review/) is largely considered to be the (Big) Redheaded stepchild of the Nexus line, lagging behind its purebred bretheren in the update department. But the delays are getting shorter and, as the carrier's just confirmed, users should begin to see [Android 4.2.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/) rolling out to their handsets as early as today. Initially [released back in February](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/12/android-4-2-2-update-reportedly-arriving-on-galaxy-nexus-phones/), this Jelly Bean update brings with it the ability to snap 360-degree photospheres, various camera UI improvements (i.e., filters and borders), lockscreen widgets and a Swype-like Gesture keyboard. It's set to be released gradually, so don't despair if that OTA update notification takes a few days to make itself known.
