To those who say they'll never buy a Samsung phone again,which brand will you buy then?People said the same thing when Sony failed to update some phones in its lineup to JB and where singing Samsung's praises then.Truth is that all of the major phone makers will at one time or the other make decisions that will favor some customers and irk others.

    Jellybean couldn't run well on it. It runs Cortex-A5! It's a slowpoke.

      Not surprising. It's a horrible low-end phone.

        Do they have similar plans for S Duos too? Which is due for JB update for long! If they did same thing with it I am never going to buy or recommend a Samsung phone ever to anyone!!

            It would be a pointless riot, as the Mini 2 is more powerful than the Ace. Ace uses an ARMv6 version of the Snapdragon S1 chipset whereas the Mini 2 uses the significantly more powerful ARMv7 one.

                    Well, that was expected. If they upgraded such model, Galaxy Ace users would start a riot.

                                  This is a sad news for all the Galaxy Mini 2 users. Hopefully you can install custom ROM on your Galaxy Mini 2.
