Optimus One and Galaxy S: No Gingerbread Update Yet

As Android 2.3 Gingerbread comes out in the wild, the update mess is back again! It was last Wednesday when LG announced on its Facebook Page that the Optimus One will not be updated to Gingerbread due to its 600MHz processor. However, LG posted an official statement on their website that the information on Facebook was premature. Moreover, the fate of Optimus One is yet to be decided until the official Gingerbread Compatibility Definition Document arrives.

Samsung feels the same way for its best-selling Galaxy S. The company is still waiting for the official Android 2.3 requirements, will do some research on its overall effect in Galaxy S’ performance, then they will decide if there will be an update or not. Meanwhile, Samsung India posted a tweet saying that the Galaxy S will get a Gingerbread update.

Whether these devices will have an Android 2.3 update or not, that remains to be seen. Still, it’s hard to believe that LG and Samsung did not get all the technical information in advance. Most especially Samsung who happens to be the manufacturer of Nexus S.
