Verizon officially started to roll out the Android Jelly Bean 4.1 upgrade for the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX devices.
Motorola announced the news on March 7 on the company's website, stating that the update would be released in phases.
The update will be available for Motorola users "Over-the-Air" with a message that should pop up for users starting this week depending on which phase that device is listed under. Droid owners can also conduct a manual installation instead of waiting for the "Over-the-Air" message with a guide provided by The International Business Times to help with the update.
