Microsoft will give you a free Lumia 1020 or Lumia 1520 if you trade in your used iPhone 4, iPhone 4s or Samsung Galaxy S II
Microsoft has a great ongoing offer which should definitely get your attention. The company is willing to buy out your used iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, or Samsung Galaxy S II, and swap it with either a Nokia Lumia 1020, or Lumia 1520. A few months ago, Microsoft was offering up to $250 for your used smartphone or tablet, but this takes it to a whole new level.

Sasmung Galaxy S II Plus owners in Germany receive Android 4.2.2 software update
The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus devices in Germany are reportedly receiving the Android 4.2.2 software update. This is a little strange considering that the global versions of Samsung Galaxy S III and the Samsung Galaxy Note II are still left on the Android 4.1.2 software version.
You can get the update doesn't seem to be available OTA, instead you will be required to connect your Galaxy S II Plus to Samsung Kies on your computer.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean coming to the Samsung Galaxy S II
The Samsung Korea website has revealed the upcoming availability of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S II. The update will reportedly be made available through the Samsung Kies software and source even lists three carriers which will receive the update but it doesn't mention the schedule in while Samsung plans to release the update.
It’s disappointing that once flagship devices have to spend months waiting for an update while friends with newer models may be enjoying it. Android 4.1 was first announced back in June, and it has taken nearly a year for the update to be prepped for the Galaxy S II

Samsung Galaxy S II receives Android 4.0.4 software update in certain regions
The Samsung Galaxy S II is undoubtedly one of the most popular Android devices, and it was one of the first in line to be treated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. While the ICS update brought Android 4.0.3 to the Galaxy S II it looks like the device may be ready to receive an even newer version – Android 4.0.4
While everyone is probably more interested in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, I am sure Galaxy S II users will be happy with the 4.0.4 which brings some performance improvements and updates.
