Hardcore Samsung fans have some exciting news here. Samsung Galaxy S2, which is known as the best Android smartphone yet, is going to get Ice Cream Sandwich update on March 1.

Eldar Murtazin, the 'mobile detective' as well as editor-in-chief at the Mobile-Review, has tweeted information about the Ice Cream Sandwich update schedule for Samsung Galaxy S2.

Meanwhile, rumors about the launch of S3 are gaining momentum. S3 is expected to carry the S2's torch and become the best Android phone on the market.

Once updated with Ice Cream Sandwich, which is known as Google's most ambitious release to date, S2 is expected to offer great competition to all existing and forthcoming smartphones and will indeed take a large bite out of the market share of other smartphones and could be even considered the industry benchmark.
