But will it be capable to offer ics features , becoz all old phone are designed for froyo , ics has many features which require new hardware features
ICS uses GPU to accelerate and render menu, UI. so if mobile got a GPU, it'll support ICS. currently, all Android mobile have GPU except maybe some desi craps like iball & lava.
And the optimus one is two year old phone and many thing has changed since then
most budget mobile still uses same SOC as Optimus One. some even with less ram and some with the processor overclocked. So even if Optimus One is a 2yr old mobile (& most likely discontinued) its not underpowered. i am using ICS on Optimus One since last month. Its lot better than gingerbread even on 600Mhz clockspeed. though credit goes to hardworking DEVs that make it possible.
Yes, it won't offer any of the new features of ICS but ICS for old mobiles are more of a evolutionary than revolutionary.
According to xda developer ics has full hadware acceleration on O1 which is a major feature of ics.. But ofcourse you cant use face unlock coz it dont have front camera....
Dont know abt full feature support but newer ARMv7 apps wont work due to its ARMv6 SoC...
some apps are recompiled for ARM v6 SOCs like Adobe Flash but game won't work.
Hmm .... So will we get any phone with full ics support under 10k
Optimus Hub & Xperia Mini will get ICS. Wildfire S "may" get ICS. if you check HTC's track record, WS should get ICS. Ace+ "may" get ICS too but Ace will be left out for sure. though none of these are priced anywhere near 10k, but by Q2 2012, they should be priced close to 10k.
I will purchase 2 Galaxy Note or Apple Iphone 4G! lolz
