The king of Samsung's mobile catalog is ready to upgrade. We have already told you on occasion that the Samsung Galaxy S II is about to receive the new version of its operating system, Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, with which it will add new but sensitive functions to its already powerful profile. But with these things about technology in general, and telephony in particular, it is already known that impatience can prevail, so leaks are the order of the day.
Through GSM Arena we have learned that the Samfirmware website has published the ROM with which those who are more handymen could install the latest Android update for the Samsung Galaxy S II. If you see yourself with enough gallantry, you can download the necessary files from this link and follow the instructions that are proposed here. Of course, as we usually warn you in these cases, the result that the process may bring is at your own risk. Next, we detail the most interesting news that Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread holds for the Samsung Galaxy S II.
The most interesting thing that owners of a Samsung Galaxy S II will find after updating to Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread (either through the leaked ROM or when they have it available in Samsung Kies) will be in three points: Google Talk, the battery and the modem function. Regarding the first, the Samsung Galaxy S II will add to its functions the possibility of making video calls through the messaging client of the Californian firm itself.
On the other hand, the autonomy provided by its battery of 1,650 milliamps will substantially elongated after upgrading (thanks to improvements in performance). And also, it seems that the update will make the utility used to convert the phone into a modem and use it to share the Internet connection with other devices (computers, laptops, tablets) will also be slightly improved.
