The younger sibling of Samsung’s current flagship smartphone which was released last month had Android 4.1.1 installed. Today however the company is shipping these devices using Android 4.1.2 however only in select Asian countries. Verified reports say that the Samsung Galaxy S3 released in Indonesia and Vietnam is running on 4.1.2 straight out of the box.

Before this update all Android devices used the portrait mode for their home screens even if the smartphone or tablet is positioned in landscape mode. This made for an awkward user experience.
The Premium Suite upgrade is also available for the S3 mini running on this version of Android. This brings several key features normally found on only on the Galaxy Note 2 such as multi-window and Paper Artist app.
