Samsung Confirms Ice Cream Sandwich for Galaxy Devices

SHARE: Tweet Adjust text size:
- Samsung Galaxy S II LTE
Last week, Google announced a new flavor of its Android operating system, namely Ice Cream Sandwich, and Samsung, the maker of the first device to run under the OS, has confirmed plans to release the update to its Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Of course, it remains to be seen whether all of these devices will get a taste of the new platform flavor, but we now know for sure that some of the latest ones will. Among them, we can count the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note smartphones, along with Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet PCs. Reportedly, the info comes from Samsung Italy, which confirmed that the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade for these devices will be released sometime in 2012. For the time being, no specific info on whether the update will be released for mid and low-end Samsung Android devices emerged, but chances are that the handset vendor will make an official announcement on this soon.

Samsung sucks.....

They have not even upgraded my Galaxy S2 to Gingerbread 2.3.5 from 2.3.3 in India.

My Omnia Pro B7610 is still stuck with Windows 6.1 and their service centres do not yet have a clue regarding the available update to Windows 6.5.

Samsung does not care nor support old customers who have bought their smart phones and treat them like disposable diapers...

Oh please. Do you think your carrier may be at fault here. Those people bitching about not getting the update. OH NO, NO UPDATE, The world is coming too an end. Do you even have a clue what the change log is between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5??

Yea, exactly, you dont. yes there are some improvements to new updates, but you forget that after samsung legal battle with apple u may loose some features as well. So before you say samsung suck do some research, or take your handset back too the shop and pick up a APPLE, you dont deserve to hold that samsung masterpiece in your hand.

Samsung sucks in India...

I have their two phones-

1. Galaxy S 2 with Gingerbread 2.3.3 (recent launch)
2. Omnia Pro B7610 with Windows 6.1 (1 year old)

Though they have released worldwide upgrades for Windows 6.1 to Windows 6.5 & Gingerbread 2.3.3 to Gingerbread 2.3.5, their Indian customer care or Kies do not offer the upgrades in India.

Samsung sells their smartphones like disposable diapers so they do not need to worry about OS support for their sold phones...

Please think twice before buying Samsing wares....
