Users of the Samsung Galaxy S2 can be pleased. Through Engadget we have learned that the South Korean multinational has confirmed on Twitter that its star model, with the permission of the Samsung Galaxy Note, will have its update to Android 4.0 (known by the surname Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS).
At the moment, from Samsung they do not point to firm dates for the update to begin to be released in European free terminals. However, that moment should come after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which will be the first mobile to launch the new version of Google's platform for smartphones.
Supposedly, the new flagship would go on sale at the beginning of December, according to some rumors (which bet on the possibility that some international operators will open the reservation period for the new phone on Monday, December 21), so that At the earliest, it would be at the end of the year when the update was ready on the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Despite everything, it is most likely that we will have to wait until the beginning of the first quarter of 2012 to see how the Samsung Galaxy S2 begin to feed on the new Google ice cream sandwich. If necessary, it will be necessary to see if the Korean house would have adapted the system to its native layer, TouchWiz, or would have decided to preserve Google's own icon environment.
At this point, we would not bet on the second option, since until now Samsung has covered all versions of Android with its own interface, including the previous version exclusively for tablets, Honeycomb, which since its version 3.1 has shown in its main view the Seoul- based firm icons. That is why the probability that it will change in its tradition is quite low.
The terminal seems that is beyond the aspirations of upgrade to Android 4.0 Samsung Galaxy S is the first generation. At least, it does not enter the first forecasts of the firm to catch up with the most recent version of the platform. In any case, it has been announced through the well-known XDA Developer forum that a ROM adapted from ICS will be available to work on the device that was released in 2010.
