List of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Phones 2012

Each version of Android has been named by Google after a dessert item; and this is done alphabetically. There was once a Cupcake,  Donut, Éclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread for phones and Honeycomb for tablets. Now, the next letter enters the limelight. Android phones are still dominating the public interest this 2012. With the all new android technology, smartphone users cannot take the urge but to grab one. The Android developer community introduced the latest version of the Android platform last year during the unveiling Galaxy Nexus phone. This is the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). This newest version boasts its power in terms of communication and sharing. It provides everything people love most about Android and take them to a higher level. What makes this even more fascinating is its nature of having the blend of parts of Gingerbread and parts of Honeycomb into a single version thus providing the ability to be optimized on both smartphones and tablets. Thinking of the words “Ice Cream” and “Sandwich” makes us imagine some sort of a tasty treat. There is a growing list of Android version 4.0 phones that are available this 2012 and will make you realize that Ice Cream Sandwich is not just an ordinary treat but a treat beyond words. The lists below include phones that have Android 4.0 as their native OS or have already received upgrades, list of upcoming Android 4.0 phones, and those phones that will get upgrade any time soon (as confirmed by their respective manufacturer). You can download the summary of the Android 4.0 Phones List here (Note: The list includes phones from mainstream manufacturers selected by the editor. There are definitely other Ice Cream Sandwich phones from brands not mentioned above) “Simple yet functional”—this phrase best describes Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) phones. The remarkable features of Ice Cream Sandwich phones as compared to earlier versions include: more visible actions and easier navigation on the capacitive touch screen, resizable widgets, new lock screen actions—face unlock, swift responses for any alerts, improved text input and spelling checker, powerful voice input engine, controlled network data, refined accessibility, unified calendar, visual voicemail, rich and versatile camera, redesigned gallery and photo editor, video with live effects, screenshot sharing, convenient web browsing, improved email, Wi-Fi direct and Bluetooth HDP and Android Beam for NFC-based sharing. With these spectacular features, Android 4.0 would definitely top the market. Setting the Android capacities aside, another feature that needs to be well commended is the physicality. Since it is a new operating system, it is best to have its new “look” in the phone industry. Google is leading a completely new Android identity. Bid goodbye to the hardware buttons because everything is touch-screen-controlled. There goes the improved font for better reading called the “Roboto”—making the text sharper, crisper and even clearer. There is also the “magazine-style” grid of thumbnails that appears in different slides. Every screen slide is manageable and adjustable making it look like a 3D hologram. Android never fails our expectations whenever internet gaming and surfing is concerned. With the new Android 4.0, new-fangled browsing and email capabilities are added to let users feel the communication and keep it solidly organized. Android phones are continuously lashing their way forward and drawing new lines of boundaries thus improving our need for communication and sharing.
