Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S III gets update to add Multi-View, Paper Artist and security fix

If you are the proud owner of the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S III, an update has been sent out that adds some new features to the device. The update is coming OTA, so you should be on the lookout for it, or you can reach into the settings of your phone and try to pull it out manually. The update brings Multi-View to the phone. This is the application that allows users to split the screen on the phone in half, so that two different apps can run at the same time. In other words, it is a multitasker's delight.

Another feature added to the phone with this update is Paper Artist. This allows you to take an ordinary photograph and turn it into a paper sketch and then edit it using the S Pen. The finished picture can be shared via your social networks, via email or by SMS message.

The update also brings enhancements to the camera and improves the ability to send bulk SMS messages. The new software version is L710VPBMD4 and it includes a security fix for the home screen that you probably didn't even realize was needed.
