Samsung denies ICS update to Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab 7.0

By Leave a Comment


 

Going by Samsung’s previous record, the news of Samsung not releasing Ice Cream Sandwich OS update for Galaxy S and the original Galaxy Tab is not really surprising. Samsung produces one of the best hardware in the industry but struggles when it comes to do the same on software. Samsung has blamed the limited amount of RAM and ROM on both the devices, which apparently is unable to run the OS smoothly due to some Samsung modifications to the UI, widgets, video calls etc.

Incidentally, Galaxy S’ specs are same as Nexus S but the Google phone can run Android 4.0 since it lacks the TouchWiz UI.

Let’s hope given by the consumer’s wrath with the decision Samsung backtracks and releases a stock version of the OS just to win the consumers’ confidence.
