If any of you own a Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100, it's unlikey that we will see the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update on our phones.
According to a 'source', the I9100's hardware is not sufficient enough to run the new firmware.
However, the Galaxy Nexus S will recieve this update even though it's hardware is lower spec than the GT-I9100.
The specs of both the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Nexus S phones are listed below:-
Processor: The Galaxy S II is a beast when it comes to raw power, it’s one of the most forward-looking handsets around at the moment with a 1 GHz dual core ARM Cortex-A9 processor based on the Orion chipset and paired with a Mali-400MP graphics processing unit (GPU).
Google’s Nexus S is amply provided for with the same ARM Cortex heritage, this time it is a single core model, a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the predecessor to the Galaxy’s A9, featuring the Hummingbird chipset and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
Display: The Galaxy S II also uses Samsung’s Super Amoled Plus capacitive touchscreen technology, this time it’s a 4.3-inch screen but still at 480 x 800 resolution.
The Nexus features a 4-inch Samsung Super Amoled capacitive touchscreen at 480x800 pixel resolution which has a contoured curved glass screen with an oleophobic surface, meaning it repels oily finger prints.
Storage: The Galaxy S II has a couple of options for storage and comes in either 16 GB or 32 GB flavours and has 1 GB of RAM, it also supports Micro SD cards up to 32 GB.
The Nexus S has a reasonable 16 GB of on-board storage but not 32 GB option to keep up with the Galaxy, it’s also behind on RAM with only 512 MB.
So what do you think?
I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
