Ice Cream Sandwich
Latest reports have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy S2 and other Android-powered Samsung (SEO:005930) tablets will be receiving the Ice Cream Sandwich Android update.
The Ice Cream Sandwich Android update for these devices was confirmed through a recent statement from Samsung Italy although the actual release date has yet to be confirmed. However reports have pointed to a possible release of the update by April to June of next year.
The other Samsung devices that will reportedly receive the Ice Cream Sandwich Android update include the Galaxy Tab 7.0, Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Reports on the release of the update for the devices began circulating a week ago and some industry watchers have hinted that Samsung Galaxy S2 users in the United States may have to wait longer before the Ice Cream Sandwich Android update will be made available.
It was also noted that the Ice Cream Sandwich Android update will only be available for the newer models of Android devices such as the Motorola Droid Razr, Motorola Droid Bionic and the Nexus S.
Older Android devices such as the Nexus One will not receive the Ice Cream Sandwich Android update since the 1GHz processor of the device is not fast enough to utilize the latest version of the Android OS even as some representative from Google have revealed that devices using the Gingerbread Android have the potential in using the latest Android OS.
Both the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note are shipped with the Gingerbread Android OS. No information was released on whether these devices will be receiving the Ice Cream Sandwich Android update without any customizations on the user interface by Samsung or not. The Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note feature a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and 1.4 GHz dual-core processor respectively.
