Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 and S Advance going to skip Ice Cream Sandwich and will get Jelly Bean

Follow: Firmware news Firmware news

There is some great news for those having a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 and Galaxy S Advance.
Apparently the two mid-range smartphones will be getting the official Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update without being updated to  Ice Cream Sandwich before.

One of the  Bulgarian readers from GSM Arena contacted its local Samsung branch, asking if the two smartphones will be updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The response was kinda suprising that the Galaxy Ace 2 and the Galaxy S Advance will be skipping  Ice Cream Sandwich and will be updated directly to the Jelly Bean.

This all can be not true as the Samsung Facebook Pages were wrong in the past. So for now I would take this with a pinch of salt!

It will probably take a few more months for the update to be ready, as you all know Samsung takes their time to update their phones.
So Samsung where is the word on the Galaxy S II ??????

    After hearing this, If this is true, then the S II is definitely getting JB. No way they’d be stupid enough to leave the S II out and update these lower smartphones. ;)

    @Hell.Keeper: An OS/Firmware needs to be compatible with the hardware. If JB doesn’t bring any features to the phone and just makes the phone slower, it will never happen. And as a company Samsung still is a company that wants to make money, so they can’t just update ALL models if they want to sell new ones.

    I can’t wait for any update for the Ace 2, since one of my apps only runs at it’s full potential on 3.xx and up (ITV app).
    But if it never comes, so be it… the phone runs perfect on 2.3.6… I should have bought a more expensive phone if I would have been horny for updates. you get what you pay for.

    S2 Will get JB. I can’t believe how many crybabies there are here. And if you want to upgrade an old Phone, switch to CM. You can’t run Windows7 on an old PC, are you gonna whine about that too.

    @jortlaban If you Run Vista Fully For PC ,Your PC IS Ready For W7

    If You Run ANDROID4.0 On Your Phone ,Your Phone must READY FOR ANDROID4.1
    BECAUSE IT IS MINOR CHANGE!!!

    @Sam10102539: your right about that, but why people want 4.1.1 for Galaxy Ace is beyond my mind. the device runs on 2.3.6 not on ICS.

    and Vista??? a more accurate comparisson would be having Win98 and wanting windows 7 without updating your hardware.

    @jortlaban WOW ,What do you ThinK???
    You’re Think is Not Fair
    It’s too SO Far
    You Must Look
    -W98= Cupcake
    -Vista= ICS
    -W7 = JB
    Vista&W7 It’s Minor Change Because it’s Change Database& Tweeks Rom To Speed.
