Samsung announced yesterday on their website that their Galaxy S II smartphone would be finally be getting an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on March 10th. Understandably, Galaxy S II users were excited to see the latest version of the Android operating system coming to their phones.
Their excitement was short-lived, however. Not long after the announcement went up on Samsung’s website, however, they posted the following to the official Samsung Electronics Twitter feed:
[์๋ ค๋๋ฆฝ๋๋ค] 10์ผ๋ถํฐ ๊ฐค๋ญ์S2 ICS ์ ๊ทธ๋ ์ด๋๊ฐ ๋๋ค๋ ํ๋ฆฌํ ์ผ์ฑ์ ์ ํํ์ด์ง ๊ธ์ ์๋ชป ์ฌ๋ผ๊ฐ ๊ฒ์๋ฌผ๋ก ์ฌ์ค๊ณผ ๋ค๋ฆ ๋๋ค. ์ ๊ทธ๋ ์ด๋ ์ผ์ ์ด ํ์ ์ด ๋๋ฉด ํธ์ํฐ๋ฅผ ํตํด์ ๋ง์๋๋ฆฌ๋๋ก ํ๊ฒ ์ต๋๋ค.
Now on the off chance your Korean is a little rusty, it says (according to Google Translate) that the post concerning the Galaxy S II Ice Cream Sandwich update was incorrect, and that the company would announce the update at a later date.
So if you were excited to update your Galaxy S II to Ice Cream Sandwich, it looks like you’ll have to get by on Gingerbread for awhile yet. There’s no information on when the update might actually roll out. For the time being, then, the only Samsung phone running Ice Cream Sandwich appears to be the Galaxy Nexus, which launched late last year.
Are you disappointed by the news that the Galaxy S II won’t be getting ICS yet? Tell us what you think in the comments.
