If you’re the owner of a Sprint-branded 7-inch Galaxy Tab, it appears you could be in for an Android update next week. SprintFeed is reporting that an update to Android 2.3, a.k.a. Gingerbread, will be released for the tablet starting Tuesday, July 5, 2011.
Okay, so it’s not exactly Honeycomb, but it is a welcomed update to a later version of the Android OS. And hopefully (if true) updates for the other U.S. carriers’ Galaxy Tab models won’t be far behind.
If you don’t get an on-screen notice regarding the update by Wednesday, you can check for it manually by tapping Menu > Settings > About My Galaxy Tab > System Updates > Update Android.
This information has not been verified by Sprint or Samsung, so take it for what it’s worth.
