The Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2, JellyBean update is now available, according to reports.

Reddit user WeeManFoo posted that his Galaxy Nexus received the update OTA (over-the-air) this morning. The update is probably a mix of bug fixes and minor improvements, according to YouMobile.org.

Many of the comments on the post lead to the conclusion that it has only rolled out for the GSM version. However, download links and a screenshot from a Google+ user contradict this rumor. The update is probably a mix of bug fixes and minor improvements, according to YouMobile.org.

The Android 4.2.2 could also be released on the Brazilian version of the LG Nexus 4.

Before being shipped to major carriers in the nation in December, around 1,000 Nexus 4 models had Android 4.2.2, JellyBean installed into them, according to a South American blog.

Very little is known at this time about the minor Android update at this time. However, it is sure to make for a smoother performance for the operating system overall.

Google recently deleted the Nexus 4.1.2 image from its servers indicating that the company would be ushering in a new build of the operating system on the device. This Android 4.2.2-powered Nexus 4 in Brazil solidifies this theory.

However, all this information should be taken with a grain of salt as Google has not confirmed anything yet.

The Nexus 4 launched at the end of last year and is one of the most impressive handsets on the market.

Specifications on the device include a 4.7-inch display with 1280 x 768 pixel resolution and 320 ppi, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front camera, NFC (near-field-communications), a slimport HDMI port, and wireless charging capabilities.

In terms of power, the device packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 CPU with 2GB RAM and either 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, depending on what model is purchased.
