Samsung Misses Out On Key Features In GALAXY S II ICS Update

Samsung had recently started shipping its GALAXY S II (GS2) smartphones pre-installed with Android 4.0, however, reportedly the company seems to have left out key features during the OS upgrade. It has been noted that the UI appeared similar to the Gingerbread version of TouchWiz even after the ICS upgrade, and apparently, this is just the tip of the iceberg. While it does bring many of the features that come standard with the new mobile OS, the screenshots comparison between the upgraded GS2 and the GALAXY S III from the report shows that it is not exactly ICS that you are getting. Read on to view the screenshots...

Samsung Galaxy S III Available For Pre-order In India

Samsung India has begun accepting pre-orders for its upcoming GALAXY S III smartphone. If you are among the teeming millions clamouring for its quad-core goodness, you'll have to shell out Rs 2000 at the official online store to book one. The listing even promises an "assured free gift" for the faithful.

However, since there are reports of GALAXY S2 variants confirmed with less-than-spectacular hardware configurations in Japan (NTT Docomo) and US (Verizon), let's hope Samsung doesn't plan on conning Indian buyers with a castrated SoC...

Top Three High-End Phones Above Rs 20,000


If you're burning more than 20 grand on a cellphone, the handset has to be impressive. Here, the user experience is crucial. Additionally, the design is of significant importance, because after spending so much who wouldn't want to show off their new phone? Last year, it was all about iOS and Android. This time around though, the Windows Phone platform has come up as a breath of fresh air, to challenge them both. Thus providing more options to the consumer.



Coming to the point, here are the best handsets you can currently buy in the Indian market. Please note that the HTC One X is not in the list, since I haven't tested it yet...

Samsung: No GALAXY Nexus For India

For those of you who have been rooting for the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, here is some disappointing news – it's not going to come to India. In a reply to a follower on Twitter, Samsung India has posted, "The Galaxy Nexus will not be launched in India. Watch this space for the next big thing!" The latter part of the tweet, in all likeliness alludes to the launch of the next GALAXY phone that is scheduled to happen in a few hours. The mobile was supposed to arrive in India last year, but got repeatedly delayed with the last report stating that it would be launched in March. A combined effort of Samsung and Google engineering, the smartphone was announced in October last year, and was the first device to run Android ICS. It was also the first to replace the hardware navigation buttons, in favour of the on-screen ones...
