The original Droid Razr and Droid Razr Maxx have begun receiving their over-the-air update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, according to a report at Android Central.

The update is clocking in at more than 300MB, so it's recommended that you upgrade over Wi-Fi only, unless you've got a high or nonexistent mobile data cap. Many people are reporting in the Android Central forums that their updates are failing to complete install on first try, too.

To check if you've got the update, go to Settings, About Phone, and then System Update.

The update comes on the heels of the Droid Razr HD and Razr Maxx HD getting their update to Jelly Bean at the beginning of December, and keeps Motorola's promise to update its phones more frequently.

There's no word yet on whether the original Razr or Razr Maxx will see Android 4.2.
