Motorola Razr I will get Android Jelly Bean early next year

AMERICAN PHONE MAKER Motorola has revealed that its Motorola Razr I smartphone will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean early in 2013.

The company has refreshed its software update page, which reveals the good news for Motorola Razr I owners. If you're a Razr owner you shouldn't get too excited though, as Motorola has warned that this first quarter 2013 target is "subject to change".

The webpage reveals that Motorola's original Razr and Razr Maxx handsets will also be upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, although there's no rollout date specified yet.

Motorola hasn't given us any further details about the upcoming software update, but we're assuming that it will arrive over the air with all of the usual features.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean features include Project Butter, Google Now, an improved camera user interface, a Swype-like onscreen keyboard and a redesigned user interface. Motorola might also add its own software tweaks to the update, but it has yet to confirm this.
