It’s begun. Just days after Samsung start rolling out the much awaited Android 4.1.2 update for the Galaxy S III, it’s now the Galaxy Note 2’s turn to get served up the same update.

And true enough, the one comes packed with a couple of nifty treats, including the cool new ink effect to the lockscreen. Here’s the complete change log as shared by SamMobile:

• New Additions in Notifcation Toggles
• Notification Panel can now be customized
• Brightness Slider in Notification Panel Can Now Be Disabled
• Multi-View Can now be disabled
• Browser Is Smoother Then Before
• Status Bar has been changed from Grey to Black
• Continues Input in Samsung Keyboard (Like Swipe or Android 4.2 Keyboard)
• New Ink Effect On Lockscreen
• New Group Cast Application

Again, the lucky blokes over at Poland are first in line for this update, and last I checked, it’s still not available in our little gadget-crazed corner of the globe.

So for now, just treat this as a heads up that it’s begun rolling out and it should be only a matter of time before this update finally arrives for local Note 2 ‘droids.
