Motorola has officially begun the roll out of Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update for its Razr and Razr Maxx smartphones.
Motorola had announced the Android ICS upgrade for the devices just about a week back for both the devices. But even though the roll out has begun, it still is not available for all the users and is only available to a limited number of users but will be made available for all the devices in the days to come.
The ICS update is made available over the air which can be accessed by heading into “Menu – Settings – About phone – System updates” from the device.
Apart from the regular Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich features, the update for the Motorola Razr and Razr Maxx smartphones will bring some new features to the devices. The home screen now includes a customisable Launch Bar, Enhanced notifications window including access to settings menu and new swipe to dismiss functionality for individual notifications.
There is also a direct access lock screen taking users directly to camera, text, messages, or Unlock.
