14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics has reportedly started to deliver the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system to users of the Galaxy S smartphone.
Galaxy S, the company's last year flagship model, is running Android 2.2 in most markets around the world, but it seems that it's maker has already started to upgrade it to a newer OS flavor.
Previous rumors did suggest that Samsung might be set to make the move in mid-April, but nothing was official until now.
Although it did not make a formal announcement on the matter, Samsung started to push out the said Gingerbread upgrade to some of its Galaxy S users.
Those to receive it at this time are users in the Nordic countries, along with Holland and Germany, it seems, though the leading telecoms company is expected to push the software to even more users in the near future.
The roll-out started sometime between Friday and Saturday, it seems, and many users are reporting successful upgrades to the new OS version.
The popular mobile phone was launched last year with the Android 2.1 OS version on board, but started to receive the Android 2.2 Froyo OS flavor during fall.
The roll-out was not completed yet, with some carriers around the world still holding it off.
However, since Google launched the new Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS late last year on Samsung's Nexus S, the handset vendor has already started move to the new OS version, it seems.
Since the company did not offer official info on the roll-out, we should wait for it to share more details on this to learn when and how the new platform release would arrive on all Galaxy S devices out there.
Currently, Samsung would be the first mobile phone maker to start serving Gingerbread to its users, after Google delivering it to the Nexus One by HTC. Stay tuned to learn additional info on this as soon as details are available.
