Korean manufacturer LG has revealed the time schedule of Jelly Bean
update for some of its smartphones. According to a press release issued
by the company, it will begin the Jelly Bean update roll-out starting
next month.
LG will first release the update for its Optimus LTE 2 smartphone, which will be followed by Optimus G in December.
Company's
phablet devices Optimus Vu and Vu II will get the Android 4.1 update in
Q1, 2013. LG has however not announced anything on Optimus 4X HD or L-Style
series updates, which should also get the Jelly Bean update.
LG
has been facing a lot of criticism because of lacklustre software update
record as compared to other Android manufacturers. The company is often
late and sometimes it skips the updates for even its flagship devices.
Android
4.1 aka Jelly Bean, which was originally announced by Google in June
this year, is yet to reach majority of Android devices. According to the
recently announced Android platform data, the operating system version
is still on less than 2percent devices.
