It looks like owners of the HTC Rezound won’t have to wait very much longer to get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on their handset, as the update is expected to be released by the end of July.
The guys over at Droid Life contacted HTC and were told that the update will start rolling out to the device at the end of July and should be finished some time in August.
The ICS (Android 4.0) update will be released for the Rezound by the end of this month (July) with final pushes in August. Due to localization, testing, and partner approvals, updates do not roll out to all devices at the same time. For devices on a wide variety of carriers and in many countries, rollouts can take up to 45 days from the initial update to reach everyone.
What to Expect from the ICS Update
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich brings a host of new features and improvements to the HTC Rezound. Users can look forward to a more refined user interface, improved multitasking, and enhanced notifications. The update also includes a new lock screen with more functionality, better voice recognition, and an improved browser with faster performance and the ability to sync with Google Chrome.
One of the most anticipated features is the introduction of Face Unlock, which allows users to unlock their device using facial recognition technology. Additionally, the update will bring improved camera capabilities, including the ability to take panoramic photos and improved video recording.
Challenges and Considerations
While the update is highly anticipated, it’s important to note that the rollout process can be complex. As mentioned, due to localization, testing, and partner approvals, updates do not roll out to all devices at the same time. This staggered approach ensures that any potential issues can be identified and resolved before the update reaches all users. For devices on a wide variety of carriers and in many countries, rollouts can take up to 45 days from the initial update to reach everyone.
Another consideration is the impact of the update on the device’s performance. While ICS brings many improvements, some users may experience initial slowdowns or bugs as the new software settles in. It’s always a good idea to back up important data before updating and to be patient as the device adjusts to the new operating system.
So hopefully owners of the HTC Rezound won’t have to wait much longer for the Android 4.0 ICS update to be released. As soon as we get some details on the exact date it will be available, we will let you guys know.
