Samsung has posted an upgrade guide for the US that shows just which devices in the country will get an Android 4.0 update. Galaxy S II variants at AT&T, including the regular and Skyrocket versions as well as the Epic 4G Touch, are slated to get the new OS. The Galaxy Note also gets an update, while the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G either have or already are getting their upgrades.
Another Android phone will soon be getting its Android 4.0 (ICS) update. RootzWiki has posted what appears to be a leak of an official Samsung release of the software for the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. The phone, which first was available from AT&T last November, currently ships with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
AT&T's Sunday saw two LTE-based 4G Android phones formally reach stores. The LG Nitro HD, unveiled less than a week ago, is the American carrier's version of the Optimus LTE. It keeps to the core design with a 4.5-inch, 720p screen, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 20GB of internal storage, and both eight-megapixel back as well as 1.3-megapixel front cameras.
AT&T recently launched its first two LTE capable phones, the HTC Vivid and the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Pocketnow reports that the carrier may soon be releasing a white version of the Skyrocket as well. Like the regular-sized version, it would come in white front and back, with only the chrome-effect trim going unchanged.
AT&T had one of its bigger non-Apple phone launches in recent memory on Sunday after it launched four headlining smartphones. Its first two LTE smartphones, the HTC Vivid (reviewed) as well as the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, headlined the group. Both run Android 2.3 on 4.5-inch screens and with eight-megapixel back cameras; the Vivid has the slower 1.2GHz dual-core processor but a 540x960 screen, while the Skyrocket's 480x800 screen is made up for through a dual-core 1.5GHz chip.
