Samsung uncertain about Gingerbread upon Galaxy S, Google says hardware needs ’similar’ to Froyo
If a Nexus S is fundamentally a Galaxy S in Gingerbread costume, you’d consider Samsung would be bursting at the seams to offer a program upgrade for all a phones it’s already sole from that family. Okay, you unequivocally wouldn’t, though you’d goal which would be the case, right? Well, Pocket-lint prodded Samsung on only which point and managed to finagle the following reply from the internal UK contact presumably speaking upon behalf of the mothership:
“In box the new chronicle of Android handling system is publicly voiced and expelled, Samsung will review the possibility of doing of such new version to a existent Samsung products with Android operating system (“Update”).
Such a review will be based on various factors together with, without reduction, the altogether outcome of such Update to Samsung products, the system mandate, a structural limitations, and a level of team-work from a component suppliers as well as the program licensors”.Right, so the Gingerbread launch as well as that total brand-new handset that’s coming in a week’s time, not public sufficient? And what’s “a overall outcome” of a Gingerbread update beyond a organisation of very happy users? Samsung seems to be relating its country-mate LG in taking an evaluative approach to Gingerbread, yet Google’s own Android lead developer is flattering decisive about a software, observant that “Gingerbread hardware needs are identical to Froyo.” So if your handset can run version F, it should have no difficulty handling chronicle G… no trouble alternative than its own maker.
Update: And now, in standard Samsung conform, we’re removing churned messages as its Indian mobile arm has come out and confirmed that “Gingerbread will be available to Galaxy S users.” Thanks, Shrinikketh!
