Last month Motorola revealed their Android 4.0 ICS update plans for their devices and the Motorola Droid Bionic received Android ICS on Friday making it the last scheduled device to receive the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update.

Now the company is looking forward and have revealed which of their devices will receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software update.

The list suggests that the Motorola Droid RAZR M, Motorola Droid RAZR HD and the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD will be the first to receive the Jelly Bean update before the end of this year. The Motorola ATRIX HD, Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE, Motorola Droid RAZR, Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX, Motorola Droid 4 and the Motorola Droid Bionic will also be updated to Android 4.1.

The Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi has already been updated to Android 4.1 and has even received the latest Android 4.1.2 update. The 3G and LTE variants of the XOOM and the Motorola XOOM Family Edition will receive the update during this quarter.



It is great to see that Motorola has picked up their pace on Android updates, and hope the trend will continue in the coming months. Especially as we are getting set for Android 4.2 to be revealed at the Android Event next week.

The devices reported to receive the latest version of Android on April 4th are the Motorola Droid RAZR and the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX.

It is not too surprising that the Motorola Flagship devices are in the front lines for the ICS update even though Motorola looks to be stingy with offering ICS to more of their deserving lineup.

The Droid RAZR features a 4.3 inch touch display, 8 megapixel camera and its powered by a 1.2GHz dual core processor. While the Droid RAZR MAXX shares the same 4.3 inch touch display, 8 megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz dual core processor in a slightly thicker 8.99 mm frame.

The update is expected to be made available OTA, so keep your eyes open open on the given date and let us know if Android ICS makes it's way to your devices as the report suggests.

Now that Motorola and Google are bed buddies we can expect the Moto handsets to get early treatment of the Android goodies, and there will be no exception with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).

Motorola's Alain Mutricy - senior VP of portfolio management, has confirmed that the Motorola Droid RAZR will be getting ICS at the start of 2012.



Considering that the Google Galaxy Nexus will only be out in November, it's clear that Motorola will be at the top of the line to receive Android love from Google. The major difference in the ICS UI is the lack of hardware buttons, and since most Android Gingerbread devices do have hardware buttons it will be interesting to see how ICS molds into these devices.

The Motorola Droid RAZR is an ultra thin smartphone running Android Gingerbread and measuring in at only 7.1mm thin. The device features a 4.3 inch display, 8MP camera and is powered by a 1.2GHz dual core processor.
