Only the Chinese version of the device receives it

Last year, South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung promised the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade for some of its Galaxy devices.

The company did not offer a specific release date for the update, but handsets such as Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note are expected to receive it in the next several weeks.

Before the official update arrives, however, some users can download a leaked ICS ROM for Galaxy Note.

The software has made an appearance in China and is available for the Chinese flavor of the large Android smartphone (which features model number GT-I9220).

The owners of Galaxy Note GT-N7000 are advised to steer clear of this leaked ROM, as it might damage their devices. It should also be noted that this is only an early Android 4.0 build for the smartphone.
