However, Samsung has promised that it will be in the United States soon.

The company stated that owners of the older versions of the Galaxy S2 should be able to update their devices in the coming weeks. However, customers who do not want to wait until it comes out can purchase these new S2 models with the software pre-installed starting in India today.

Another alternative would be to pick up the Galaxy S3 when it launches at the end of this month.

The device has already gone up for pre-order in many countries including the U.S. and retails at $800 off contract.

The Galaxy S3 also comes with Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed along with a slew of other impressive features.

Other specifications on the S3 include the Siri-like S-Voice feature, a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED high definition display and a quad-core Exynos processor.
