It looks like ZTE is about to officially launch an Android update for the popular Orange San Francisco in Europe this month, with a report quoting ZTE’s French office claiming the OS upgrade will arrive in the “last week of June”.
It’ll only update the impressive Android phone to the Android 2.2 “FroYo” version of the OS, but is still good news for San Francisco owners who don’t fancy going down the unofficial ROM root.
It’s the miracle phone that just won’t stop being awesome. Orange is still selling the thing for £99 (plus a £20 top-up, which is actually a recent price increase!) if you want to own a piece of the magic.

The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ June 18, 2011Will this be an OTA update? If so, will I need to be using the phone on its original network? I’ve unlocked the handset to use it on another network.

Simon
/ June 18, 2011yes but this upcoming update is for UK phones and it’ll keep the warranty.
Andy
/ June 19, 2011Ok, the warranty was kept for Swedish too, but I guess not if you’re in the UK. I wonder why you’re so late to get it.
