The gradual yet coordinated launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus around the world has finally put Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) into circulation. It is the latest and most advanced Google platform for smart phones ( smartphones ) and tablets.
With the official launch of ICS in the market, the bets have begun to know which will be the first device to be updated from Android 2.3 Gingerbread (in the case of phones) or Android 3.0 Honeycomb (if it is tablets).
Although it is difficult to pin down for sure, early indications are that it could be Google's previous flagship that will step up first when it comes to ditching the gingerbread cookie for a rich ice cream sandwich.
And it is that as we have been able to know through The Verge, where they echo a conversation held between Google employees through the social network of Mountain View, that is, Google+, this mobile is already being submitted to performance tests with the official version that would be released in the next days or weeks.
Based on what Adnan Hodzic and Adel Saoud comment, they would have already received the wireless update (OTA, also known as Over the Air ) in the Google Nexus S, which is the edition of the flagship mobile of the North American multinational that was presented the year last (the first with South Korean manufacturing Samsung).
As they tell, the Nexus S works very well with the upgrade to ICS, which is anticipated as a good omen for users around the world are waiting as rain in May, making the day the terminal with the latest Google can receive the notification of Android 4.0 among its news.
At the moment, no official dates have been given so that the owners of a Google Nexus S can update their terminal to ICS, so it will be necessary to be attentive to the latest information that arrives every day from Mountain View.
What seems to be clear is that the first generation of Google's flagship for its smartphone catalog, the Nexus One, will be left out of the official race in the Android 4.0 update. At least, as we say, as long as we do not resort to the interesting cooked ROMs that we can discover in XDA Developers.
