Samsung Galaxy S III owners in Poland woke up to a pleasant surprise Monday morning. As per a report in SamMobile, Samsung has started rolling out the Jelly Bean Android 4.1.1 update for Galaxy S III users in Poland.

This is the first official Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy S III users anywhere in the world. The update is available via KIES as well as an over-the-air upgrade for owners of Samsung's flagship smartphone. The news comes as surprise, since indications were the Jelly Bean update won't be available before October.

Jelly Bean will bring new features like Google Now, offline voice typing, expandable notifications and more, including performance improvements credited to Google's "Project Butter".

The update comes as great news for Samsung Galaxy S III owners around the globe, who now start wondering when the update will roll out in their country. ~~There has been no announcement from Samsung on the launch of Jelly Bean for Galaxy S III in Poland~~ (See update), or any word on the rollout schedule for other countries.

Samsung Galaxy S III has been a huge success for Samsung, selling over 20 million units in a little over 3 months. Recently, reports of Samsung Galaxy S IV emerged in the Korean media, but Samsung was quick to dismiss the rumours.
