Android Authority reports that GSM versions of the Galaxy Nexus, Google’s flagship Android smartphone prior to the release of the Google Nexus 4, are now receiving the JOP40C version of the Android 4.2 update. If you happen to own this kind of device, it may be a good idea to start checking for updates as it may actually already be heading out to you as well. Sprint and Verizon owners, however, may have to wait a little longer “until they’ll be able to enjoy the new Android 4.2 features, at least officially.”
