Tons of Samsung devices getting ICS, unless you are on T-Mobile

Samsung has listed all their devices which will be updating to Android 4.0 ICS in the coming weeks.

T-Mobile devices that will not be getting the update are the Exhibit II 4G, Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and the Galaxy S II.

Says the company of its talks with the carrier: "We are in close communication with T-Mobile to ensure that eligible devices are upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the coming months and will provide updates as we have additional details to share."

The full list (via slash):

Verizon:
Galaxy Tab 10.1
Galaxy Tab 7.7

AT&T:
Galaxy S II
Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Galaxy Note
Captivate Glide
Galaxy Tab 8.9

Others:
Nexus S 4G

I would like to know why it's inferior though. I mean, Qualcomm is the innovator from back in the day. One would think they have stayed current. No???

Let me rephrase that...There not inferior in every way, there chips are just slower. There SOCs right now are the only ones that support LTE. Thats why the american version uses the Krait while everyone else gets Tegra 3. The krait is still really fast though.

The exynos was just the fastest chip for 2011 in multiple benchmarks.

So Qualcomm is still up there, but for whatever reason the exynos chip didnt like TMOBs HSPA+ network.
