We’re all anxious to have Ice Cream Sandwich on our phones if we don’t already have it, and Samsung says that the lucky people in Israel who own a Galaxy S II will get their wish. On Samsung’s Mobile Israel Facebook page, they announced that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be rolling out on March 15 for both unlocked and carrier-branded handsets.
Here’s a translated version of their post:
We promised we were working on it. You waited patiently. And on 15 March it’ll arrive: Android version 4, ICS, to tens of thousands of GALAXY S II devices purchased from cellular companies in the country or directly from us. We are very excited for the launch, hope you are too
There has been tons of speculation on when ICS will arrive for the Galaxy S II, including Eldar Murtazin’s guess of sometime after March 1. If Samsung’s March 15 date turns out to be true, then Murtazin wasn’t too far off the mark. The Israeli release of ICS for the Galaxy S II is also good news for people who own the unlocked international version, since the update could possibly apply to them too. Other countries will have to wait a bit longer, including those of us in the United States, since hardware is a little different from carrier to carrier.
Keep checking back at Talk Android for more information on ICS for the Galaxy S II, as it becomes available.
