Android 4.0.3 lands on the Nexus S
01 year ago
Finally the Samsung Nexus S has started receiving the update from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich. I have to say that I am very impressed with the update.
One thing that you don’t have to worry about this time round is losing any data, I did the OTA update on my Nexus S and I have everything left exactly the way it was before the update, all my apps and SMS messages are still where I left them. You will however lose any root capabilities since it’s a whole new OS. Even my ringtones went untouched in the update.

Galaxy Nexus officially unveiled!
01 year ago
So Google and Samsung have officially unveiled the Android 4.0 toting handset. The next iteration in the Nexus series – The Galaxy Nexus. It is Samsungs latest flagship handset. It doesn’t beat the Galaxy S II by much but given that its a pure Google device, it will no doubt be very quick on the draw compared to other phones with similar specs. It will be running vanilla Android just like the previous 2 Nexus phones. Both of which are particularly fast phones.
I detailed the specs in my previous post but here we go again
- Galaxy Nexus
- OS: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (more…)
