LG G2 is the latest release of the South Korean company, being a smartphone that shares many features with the Nexus 5, as they are manufactured by the same company. However, there is an essential difference, the firmware. While the Nexus 5 already has Android 4.4 KitKat, LG G2 could not get the update until March of next year 2014.
launch of a new version of firmware by Google always a lot of work for different companies. On the one hand, are required to upgrade, because otherwise users will question you are not saying that companies that support their smartphones. On the other hand, an update that has not been properly tested can contain many errors, which will be also widely criticized by users, and which in turn implies more work and time to do the company has to focus on solving errors with a new update.
LG is one of the companies that are in this situation. In fact, it appears to be worse than Samsung and Sony in regards to updates. And, Elliot Court, representative of LG Canada, reported that the update to Android 4.4 KitKat for LG G2 will not arrive until March. This is really critical, since it is the highest-level smartphone company. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 update much earlier, and the Sony Xperia Z1 also preparing for an early upgrade. Until March have yet to spend three to four months, which is really worrying.
still more worried when the other large terminal of the company is the Nexus 5, a smartphone whose firmware is supported by Google, not by LG. Currently, the LG G2 has Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, and offers a rather old looking for a phone with a price like this. It is certainly bad news for buyers LG G2, but at least you have the certainty that the update will come.
