Samsung has begun rolling out Android 4.0 to its Galaxy S II owners around the globe.

For starters, the update is now available to users in Korea, Hungary, Poland and Sweden.

The company will continue its "gradual roll out" in the coming weeks and months: "Samsung Electronics announced the availability of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) software upgrade for GALAXY SII. The upgrade will begin in European countries including Poland, Hungary, Sweden, as well as Korea today and gradually roll out to other markets."

In the update, users will receive features like Face Unlock, a completely re-done UI and new widgets and homescreen updates.

Galaxy Note 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 10.1 owners will be receiving the update soon, as well, says Crunch.
