If tipsters to BGR are to be trusted, Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G will begin getting Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ updates on Monday.
According to the report posted late yesterday afternoon, the QWERTY-equipped Galaxy S will receive over the air updates from Android 2.1 to 2.2 beginning February 21st, though it may take until Feb. 25th for every handset to receive the update.
In addition to the Epic 4G, BGR tells us that the lesser known Sanyo Zio will also be getting the Android version bump.
Epic 4G changes are said to include “improved Bluetooth device support, Bluetooth voice dialing, Flash Player 10.1, GPS enhancements, improved OS performance and ability to install applications to external storage” while the Zio will get Swype and improved battery life in addition to the standard Froyo goodness.
Samsung has taken heat for the long delay in updating its U.S. Galaxy S Android phones to version 2.2 of Google’s mobile OS. Of the currently available models on the four major U.S. wireless carriers, only T-Mobile’s Vibrant has been updated to Froyo.
