Today T-Mobile and Samsung are pushing out a software update for the highly popular 4.52″ screen packing Galaxy S II. It looks like those HTC handsets over on T-Mobile aren’t the only ones having some upgrade fun this week. The Galaxy S II T-Mobile update is rolling out as we speak and should also be available via Kies for those opting for that route as usual.
Just like the recent HTC Amaze 4G update the SGSII has now received WiFi calling and a few other improvements like T-Mo Caller ID. We have already posted a full review of the Galaxy S II and this phone will only get better with updates and improvements as it’s already an awesome phone. Get it this weekend for free with the T-Mobile 4G Super Sale.
Full details on the OTA update can be found over at the T-Mo support page. Other than the few new changes mentioned above they are also toting better battery life and performance. Something every update usually lists as a new feature and we’ll be sure to give it a test. That is all they mention so it appears to be a relatively small update and should only take a few minutes should users accept the “optional” update. It should arrive sometime over the next week and as usual you can manually update by going to menu > settings > about phone > check for updates. Enjoy!
