As of late, we’ve seen more and more smartphone manufacturers starting to unleash the eagerly awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to their respective devices. Just recently, we’ve seen the official Ice Cream Sandwich update finally land of the Samsung flagship handset Galaxy S II. Not to be left out, HTC also joined the fray by rolling out ICS update for the HTC Velocity.
Unsurprisingly, the Taiwanese smartphone and tablet manufacturer has kept mum about the full list of handsets in its stable that are expected to get a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich. HTC has been giving us vague estimates for the longest time, but this time around, the manufacturer finally decided to give us a full list of handsets that are in for a tasty ICS update.

Included in the official list of devices is Verizon’s HTC Droid Incredible 2 which also happens to be adjudged as the best Android-powered smartphone on a budget at the wireless provider. Though there has been no exact date mentioned when HTC made the announcement, we expect the HTC Droid Incredible 2 to get its share of Ice Cream Sandwich in the coming weeks since we already saw the Sensation and Sensation XE get hit by the update a couple of days ago.
As for the HTC Droid Incredible 2, it came as a no surprise that the handset is included in the HTC devices that will get upgraded to Ice Cream sandwich given the fact that the device is more than capable to handle ICS in its circuitry. We actually have the specs sheet of the HTC Droid Incredible 2 coming right up to prove our point and at the same time gave you an idea as to why it came off as the best budget Android phone at Verizon.
The HTC Droid Incredible 2 was made official when it was announced by Verizon back in April of 2011. This handset is quite a looker and packs the good old HTC design aesthetics. It has dimensions of 120.7 x 64 x 12.2 mm and it tips the scales at 135 grams.
Internally, the HTC Droid Incredible 2 relies on its QualComm MSM8655 SnapDragon chipset to power its operating system while its computing power needs is delivered by its 1 GHz Scorpion processor and 768 MB of RAM. Power users may find the 1GB internal memory of the HTC Droid Incredible 2 hopelessly insufficient but since Verizon throws in a 16GB microSD card in the retail package of the handset, the meager onboard storage in the handset shouldn’t really be an issue here. Your movies and games come alive in the 4.0-inch SuperLCD display of the HTC Droid Incredible 2 while its SRS WOW HD surround sound make everything on the device even more enjoyable. Despite being seen as a budget smartphone, the camera department of the HTC Droid Incredible 2 belies such categorization with an 8MP rear shooter and 1.3MP video call camera.
And if you want a capable Android-powered smartphone slated to get updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich without breaking the bank, the HTC Droid Incredible 2 is your best bet and you can get this handset via Amazon Wireless for only a penny with a new two-year subscription with Verizon.
