The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (click to read our review) was launched here in the Philippines last year by Smart Communications. Those who bought the unit have a big reason to be happy about their purchase since it was just confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus will be the first phone to receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This was revealed in a report by Into Mobile where the writer showed that it actually said in the final description of the Galaxy Nexus in the Google Play store that it will get the update first.
