Samsung has told Pocket-lint that it is unsure whether the latest version of Android, version 2.3, will be coming to the Samsung Galaxy S, following the announcement that its new flagship phone, the Samsung Nexus S, will be packing the new operating system when it launches later this month. 

Rather than simply telling us whether it is or it isn’t, Samsung has told us:

“In case a new version of Android operating system is publicly announced and released, Samsung will review the possibility of implementation of such new version to the existing Samsung products with Android operating system (“Update”).

"Such a review will be based on various factors including, without limitation, the overall effect of such Update to Samsung products, the system requirements, the structural limitations, and the level of cooperation from the component suppliers and the software licensors”.

We have to say we are a little baffled by the comment that neither suggests or denies whether Samsung is looking to bring the new mobile operating system from Google to one of the top phones of 2010 (as nominated in the Pocket-lint Gadget Awards).

The good news however, is that:

“If Samsung decides to make the Update available to the users after such consideration, Samsung will use its efforts to develop such Update, which may be released to the users upon successful completion of such development”.

Looks like further confirmation will have to wait for the time being.
