Samsung Nexus S to get Ice Cream Sandwich “within weeks”
Yes, that’s right… more Ice Cream Sandwich news. It seems that’s all the Android news is full of these days, and I shall not disappoint! lol
Word on the street is that the Samsung Nexus S will be getting the ICS update within weeks. My guess is that we will see the Nexus S updated days after the official release of Galaxy Nexus, or gNexus as Ryan Moore is calling it.
This great news doesn’t come without its drawbacks I’m afraid though. According to Google’s Hugo Barra, Product Management Director for Android, has confirmed that Nexus One hardware is too old to run the high performing Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. However, there will 3rd party devs that will come to the rescue with unofficial ROMs. In addition, Barra stated that the Nexus S will be receiving ISC update “within weeks”.
We have already seen videos across the net of the Nexus One running ICS, however it’s very buggy at the moment, which is to be expected in such early stages.
