Earlier today Sprint announced two Android devices to receive some much-needed ICS treatment in the very near future. Owners of the EVO 3D and the EVO Design 4G can rejoice as the Android 4.0 ICS is scheduled to roll out in early August which is only a little over two weeks away. Users can expect new features like:
- A refined, evolved user interface that is simple, beautiful and useful
- Face Unlock: use state-of-the-art facial recognition technology to unlock your phone with a smile
- Redesigned camera app which introduces Scenes like Panorama, and Effects such as Vignette, Depth of Field, Vintage and Posterize
- Web browser now lets you sync Google Chrome™ bookmarks, request full desktop versions of sites, see your open tabs in a new layout
- People: browse friends, family and coworkers, see their photos in high-resolution and check their latest status updates from Google+
- Improved keyboard with incredibly accurate typing, an inline spell checker and improved copy and paste support
- Redesigned Gmail™ app that now lets you swipe between conversations to catch up quickly and search for emails even without a data connection
- Google+ integration that lets you hangout and video chat with up to 10 friends using your front-facing camera
Good to see the Android 4.0 ICS list getting smaller and smaller. They didn’t give any specific dates to work with but it does offer some hope.
