Samsung Galaxy W gets its Value pack update

As promised, the Value pack for the Samsung Galaxy W has now started rolling out in Europe as OTA or via Samsung Kies. Currently, only users in Slovakia and Romania are able to get it, but more countries should follow soon.

Based on Android 2.3.6, the Value pack update aims to bring ICS-like features to smartphones that won't be getting an Android 4.0 update. The most prominent new feature is the popular Face Unlock, which Samsung tweaked for improved security.

The highlights list continues with a new Camera icon visible while shooting videos, which allows you to take photos without interrupting your recordings. The Value pack also brings some new Accessibility updates allowing you to end a phone call with the Power key and changing the text size in the Contacts, Calendar, Messaging and Memo applications.

If you are too impatient and you know your way around flashing a custom ROM, you may follow the Via link below to get the firmware before it has hit your country.

Thanks, Fahad Al for the tip.
