Samsung UK has confirmed that the Galaxy S II smartphone will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. But it can't say when.

"Hi, good news - the Galaxy S II will be receiving ICS, but there are no dates confirmed as yet," the company Tweeted.

Samsung Italy said last month that ICS will be coming to a range of devices [1], including the S II, the Note and members of the Galaxy Tab range, in 2012.

The ICS source code was posted by Google [2] this week. ®
