When Will Your Phone Get ICS?

Mar 16

Posted by

We are sharing this excellent information from Android Australia, as we felt it was just what the Doctor ordered and is right on the money!

So thanks to Josh Berg from Android Australia, here is the complete and concise list, right up to date!

Now without further to do, here it is:

HTC -

Official statement has been made stating that certain phones will receive the much sought after update. This includes:

If you’re in America or have an American phone, HTC will also offer support for the

  • Rezound
  • Sensation 4G
  • EVO Design 4G
  • Amaze 4G
  • Vivid
  • Thunderbolt
  • Flyer
  • DROID Incredible 2
  • Incredible S

Let’s hope Telstra’s newly announced 4G phone, the HTC Velocity, will have an upgrade heading its way. For the first 4G phone in Australia it would be preposterous if it were to miss out on some Ice Cream Sandwich UPDATED: HTC Velocity 4G to be updated to Android 4.0 ICS.

Please read our article about the future of HTC Sense and Android 4.0

SAMSUNG -

Sadly the Samsung Galaxy S and the original Galaxy Tab will not be receiving the update. However, Samsung has made up for the bad news with a long list of devices to be updated -

Samung’s updates are expected to be rolled out to phones at some point in Q1 2012, with rumours circulating that most upgrades will arrive around April.

MOTOROLA -

Motorola have a relatively ‘quiet’ list, with only three devices expecting (one already receiving!) updates.

The -

will be receiving the updates in the near future. While they may have a small list, Motorola have been quick to push the update out. The Motorola Xoom WiFi is one of the first devices/tablets to receive the tasty goodness that is Ice Cream Sandwich. It is receiving an over the air update which is rolling out as we speak in US! The Xoom 2 and Xoom 2 Media Edition will also be receiving the update very shortly.
This is the blog for all news on Motorola and Ice Cream Sandwich.

ASUS:

ASUS has been the quickest mainstream OEM to issue Android 4.0 upgrades to its devices.
The newly released quad-core Transformer Prime has already been issued the upgrade. The original Transformer (TF101) has also now received the tasty goodness of Ice Cream Sandwich.

ACER:

According to Tablet Online (in Polish), the A100, A101, A500 and A501 tablets will be upgraded in early 2012. UPDATE: The Australian sector of ACER have also confirmed that the A200 will be receiving the Ice Cream Sandwich update.

HP:

The HP TouchPad has life again! Although ICS on HP’s abandoned device doesn’t do any more than boot up at this point, it is still something! For all of you who grabbed one for $99 in the famous fire sale, I envy you!
A more stable and refined ICS edition for the TouchPad is expected in the first half of 2012.

SONY:

Sony have stated they will be rolling out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the entire 2011 Xperia line.

This includes the:

The 2012 line of update-able devices includes:

Sony have also announced that the Sony Tablet S will be receiving the update in Q1 2012.
