At the rate Samsung is moving, it looks like the Galaxy S3 will launch with Android 4.0 pre-installed before the upgrade arrives.
There was also a report that originated from Samsung's Israeli Facebook account stating that Galaxy S2 owners in the region would be able to upgrade to ICS starting March 15. However, that post was taken down shortly after, indicating that whoever wrote that post was misinformed.
The delay in releasing the upgrade is proving frustrating to many users, who were promised by the Korean electronics giant that Galaxy S2 owners would see it before the end of Q1 2012.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is arguably the world's most popular Android smartphone with it being available on most carriers; moving millions of units globally.
The device debuted at the 2011 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Specs on the device vary from carrier to carrier. Most Samsung Galaxy S2s feature a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB of internal memory with microSD support, a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass coating, and 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p recording, and a 2-megapixel front camera.
