The Android 4.0 update season is in full bloom. We have both the Global Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket getting Ice Cream Sandwich on Monday, while the Samsung GALAXY Note gets Android 4.0 and the Premium Suite update on Tuesday. The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket brought a larger screen version of the Samsung Galaxy S II to AT&T customers. Both Sprint and T-Mobile offered their customers a version of the Samsung Galaxy S II with a 4.52 inch screen while AT&T's variant offered the smaller 4.3 inch screen. All four have a rather disappointing 206-207ppi pixel density brought on by the large sized panel and a WVGA resolution.
Getting the Android 4.0 update
Unlike the dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor under the hood of the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II, the Skyrocket offers up a dual-core 1.5GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and native storage of 16GB. A 32GB capacity microSD slot is aboard along with an 8MP camera that captures video in 1080p at 30fps. The new software version to be looking for is i727UCLF6.
Because this is not an OTA update, you will have to connect through your computer using Kies to install the update. It's going to be a busy two days for AT&T customers using a couple of Sammy's finest. The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket today and the Samsung GALAXY Note on Tuesday. As usual, no need to be shy.
