LG has made an announcement today that might get your fingers caught, but that encourages the rush that many Android mobile device manufacturers are making to upgrade to the latest versions of the operating system. The South Korean manufacturer has given a list of devices, mostly smartphones, to be updated to Jelly Bean soon among what we would like to highlight LG Optimus Vu y LG Optimus Vu II. They have set dates for this that are quite early.
The updates will begin in November for many phones, following December and January 2013. Among them are the LG Optimus LTE 2 and LG Optimus G. But we would like to highlight the update of the two phablets of this brand: LG Optimu Vu and LG Optimus Vu II. Both devices will receive the update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in Q2013 XNUMX. This date, although quite open, is just around the corner and has sounded hasty to many analysts. However, it is likely that the collaboration with Google on the Nexus 4 Smartphone has yielded reciprocal results as it did in its day to Samsung and later to ASUS with the manufacture of Nexus 7.
It is precisely with Samsung who will have to see the faces LG in the sale of phablets, Galaxy Note II will set the tone and is the rival to beat Optimus Vu II, yet to arrive in Spain, and perhaps with the HTC phablet, which could be Nexus 5. With this move, LG covers one of the shortcomings it had with respect to the Samsung device, which, even so, is still superior in processor. The only asset it could have in its favor is the price, although at the moment in Korea it is selling for around 750 euros at the exchange rate, a bad sign. Tomorrow there could even be another competitor on the side of ASUS with its PadFone 2, a device that although it has been presented as a Smartphone or superphone meets the conditions of a phablet due to its power and its 4,7-inch screen. Tomorrow we will know more about its price and launch.
