Where there’s an update on Galaxy Fame Duos GT-S6812B, there’s a way. If your device experiences a new Android version, you’ll both benefit a lot. See how by keeping an eye on this tutorial.

An upgrade is always recommended. The reason behind this: your phone’s OS will receive stuff which can improve its performance. Not only that, but you as an user will enjoy things that weren’t there when you first bought your phone.

The improvements

Here to bring you all of this and more is Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean VJANE1. Released this June officially for Brazil, the firmware delivers all the goodies that are expected of it. That being said, here is what the new tool brings: a new keyboard and extended Vsync timing. These first two novelties are followed by others. They’re a fixed frame of 60 fps and touch anticipation. The rest of the additions are triple buffering, mini apps and group cast. Sync and connect email updates will also be part of your device. And so will Google Now, pop up play and an automatic adjustment for the size of widgets. Free style widget and all share conclude the list of update goodies.

The latest Android version has a KIES logo. It’s turned on. This means that our guide isn’t the only method you can use to upgrade smartphone. Another one is Samsung’s KIES software. If this is what you should choose, your handset must come with stock ROM.

You should expect some disadvantages when updating a rooted device. The Galaxy Fame Duos GT-S6812B will lose its system partition and root access. The new firmware will thankfully not damage the device’s internal / external SD cards or important content.Galaxy-Fame-Duos-GT-S6812B
