Samsung recently announced which of its Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets would be getting upgraded to the latest version of Android, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
There were two devices left off the list, the original Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet and the original Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, and owners of these devices were less than happy to find out that they wouldn’t be getting Android 4.0.
Now according to a recent report, Samsung is looking into the possibility of bringing Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to the two devices, although there has been no official word from Samsung on this as yet.
Why the Upgrade Matters
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich brought a host of new features and improvements over its predecessors, making it a highly anticipated update for many users. Some of the key enhancements included a revamped user interface, improved multitasking, and enhanced notifications. Additionally, it introduced new functionalities such as Face Unlock, data usage analysis, and a more intuitive keyboard. For users of the original Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab, these features would significantly enhance their device’s performance and usability.
Community Reaction and Potential Impact
The initial exclusion of the Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab from the upgrade list sparked considerable backlash from the community. Many users felt that their devices, which were still relatively powerful, deserved the update. The Galaxy S, for instance, was one of Samsung’s flagship models and had a large user base. Similarly, the Galaxy Tab was among the first Android tablets to gain widespread popularity.
The potential inclusion of these devices in the Android 4.0 upgrade would not only appease current users but also demonstrate Samsung’s commitment to supporting its older devices. This move could enhance customer loyalty and set a positive precedent for future updates.
Hopefully, Samsung will be able to bring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to both the Samsung Galaxy S and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know.
