Device manufacturers have started rolling out the latest Android update for their devices and today we have our hands on the Galaxy S II running Android 4.0.3 which is the official stable build.
At first look, it seems just like Gingerbread, which is what really put us off. Samsung hasn’t done a good job with Ice Cream Sandwich for their flagship device. The TouchWiz UI is still present and at first glance you would hardly find any difference. However there are certain changes and the device is a lot smoother, faster and much more responsive than ever.

If this article had been just about an average Lava phone, we doubt anyone would have given it much of a thought. But as it is, the mobile market changes its shades dramatically and continues to surprise and excite us. After so many fireworks from brands like Huawei, should our domestic brands stay behind?
Totally not, proves Lava by forging a partnership with the big daddy of all processor manufacturers – Intel. From the very start I noticed that the Xolo X900 does not, in any way belong only to Lava; it is product of a partnership with Intel, which is a huge step ahead for Lava.
