The Android 2.3.4 operating system update will come with a major surprise. We refer to the possibility of taking advantage of the front camera of some terminals to make video calls. In this way, phones as advanced as the HTC Desire S or the Nexus S manufactured by Samsung would have the opportunity to serve their users as a phone to make video calls. To date, most users who wanted to use their terminals for this purpose, downloaded alternative applications. Without a doubt, one of the most important in this regard is Fring, application that at the moment is still positioned at the top of the most downloaded in the Android Market.
But let's get to the bottom of the matter. And you know that the Android version for tablets, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, has the ability to make video calls natively. The problem was faced by Android 2.3 users, in whose base version this option was not contemplated. Now, according to what a Samsung worker on Twitter has indicated, the new version of Android 2.3.4 would incorporate the possibility of making video calls through GTalk. Without a doubt it would be one of the most important noveltiesof this update, which would be ready before the end of this year. At this point, we still do not have the opportunity to pin down a specific date.
The user @ MAFiA303, that's the name of the Samsung worker who has spread the news over the Internet, indicates that he used his Nexus S to make a video call through the GTalk application. In fact, this is the main evidence that the inclusion of this possibility in the new Android 2.3.4 update would reveal. According to the latest rumors circulating on the Internet, the new edition of this operating system could reach the hands of developers during this coming month of May, which means that the functionality will be tested shortlyand will arrive weeks later to compatible terminals that will also be able to test this new function.
