A new update is making its way to Samsung Galaxy S III handsets on Sprint this week. In addition to fixing a lock screen flaw that allows users to bypass any security locks you have set — exactly one week after it was fixed on the Galaxy Note II — it also introduces Samsung’s excellent Multi-View feature, and more.

For those unfamiliar with Multi-View, it’s a TouchWiz feature that was first introduced to the Galaxy Note II, and it allows you to run two apps side-by-side simultaneously. So you can watch YouTube videos while you chat to friends on Facebook, or keep an eye on the sports scores while you reply to emails.

It’s true multitasking on a smartphone, and Samsung’s the only smartphone manufacturer that provides it — for now, at least.

The update also makes improvements to the built-in Gallery, Camera, and Paper Artist apps, and addresses the lock screen security flaw that was discovered on a number of popular Samsung smartphones earlier this year.

The update is rolling out over-the-air to Sprint users as I write this, so if you haven’t seen it yet, you should do fairly soon.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy Note II happens to be its Multi Window view. Unfortunately, not every Note II model currently has this feature available to it. T-Mobile has been dragging its feet with the update but will finally push it out to users come this Wednesday December 19th.

The Galaxy S III continues to receive new features.

International Samsung Galaxy S III handsets have begun received the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update this week, which introduces a number of new features to this year’s hottest Android smartphone. In addition to the new “Multi-View” multitasking feature — which originally made its debut on the Galaxy Note II — users can look forward to a redesigned Gallery app, a customizable notification panel, and more.

Sprint has begun rolling out its first software update for the recently released Samsung Galaxy Note II. Update L900VPALJC brings with it a few bug fixes as well as the much anticipated Multi View feature which allows users to run two apps at the same time with convenient access to both via a multi window view. It’s an amazing feature that pushes true mobile multitasking to its limits.
