| by Roydon Cerejo | Smartphones

Earlier on this week, we spoke about how Samsung will be shipping all new Galaxy S II phones with ICS but what if you already own one? Well, there’s good news for Galaxy S II owners in India as it turns out that Samsung has just begun rolling out the Ice Cream Sandwich updates for the Galaxy S II in India. If you own an S II, be sure to check for any updates through the setting menus as some users seem to receiving the update OTA. In case you don’t receive it OTA, then try connecting it to your PC and updating via Samsung Kies, it should work. This update brings all the features of Android 4.0 along with Samsung’s custom skin, TouchWiz 4.0.

 7.0

We’ve already established that the Lumia 720 is Nokia’s best effort as far as Windows Phone 8 handsets go. This could soon change once the Lumia 925 hits markets, but as it stands now, the Lumia 720 offers the best blend of features and performance, wrapped in a beautiful package that’s quite affordable.
