Samsung justifies why Galaxy S and Original Galaxy Tab can’t be upgraded to Android 4.0

December 23, 2011 By kunal 16 Comments

Galaxy Tab

 

Samsung recently announced the list of devices that will receive the new Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich update in 2012. However, the list did not cover the Galaxy S (I9000) or the original Galaxy Tab (P1000) which irked a lot of users.

Samsung has now justified why it cannot give the Ice Cream Sandwich update on both the devices. Galaxy S maybe similar to the Nexus S but Samsung says the smartphone and the Galaxy Tab run Samsung specific elements like TouchWiz UI, video calls, Samsung widgets, carrier and country customizations that makes difficult to run the new OS smoothly. The RAM and ROM storage are also an issue, Samsung said.

    If so, they should go the HTC Desire way and give us un-touchwized ICS, the way HTC gave de-Sensetized GB to Desire owners.

    the reason is pretty simple.Samsung is lazy and don’t like to support their users.they prefer to sell more and earn more.

    It’s just a marketing stuff for them to buy their new smartphones in stead on putting customer respect as one of their issue they prefer to make more profit. No more samsung phones for me next time I chose a smartphone !

    I am pissed with Samsung since I own the Galaxy S. When I bought it, it had no more than beta software, then updates came late and were still buggy and now as a logical sequel no Ice Cream. Bonus feature: horrible information policy.

    Sorry but FUCK YOU SAMSUNG. I will never buy one of your smartphones again.

    Either wait for CyanogenMod update or buy Iphone directly. Samsung is loosing existing customers due to terrible marketing strategy!
