PHIL: Android 4.0 ICS update for the Samsung Galaxy S II arrives in the Philippines


When Samsung officially started rolling out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the Galaxy S II, the first countries who got the update were, of course, South Korea and countries in Europe. No mention was made on when exactly it will reach the Philippines. But the Philippines' Galaxy S II is the international version (GT-I9100) which is basically the same with those in South Korea and in the European market. Unlike in the US where they have heavy carrier customization and different CPUs in their SGS IIs and of course the antennas they use for the devices to work with the specific carrier in the US which eventually would require a different update. 




Anyway, PinoyDROID was able to get the update themselves and as you can see in the screenshot above, it seems official (as it was taken from Samsung Kies). This would basically bump the version of Android of your SGS II up to Android 4.0 ICS. Samsung has done an amazing job in pushing the update as soon as they can.

So for those who owns an SGS II, download Samsung Kies now (the latest version please) and install them on your PCs or Macs and connect your SGS IIs. The software will then check if the update has arrived for your device, which it should already have. Enjoy!
