At last it seems that the Android 4.4.2 update for the LG G2, so those who decided to buy one of these phones with its buttons on the back, have reason to smile. Of course, the country in which the improvement has begun to be launched is Korea.
The rest of the locations will gradually receive the update, but in principle the delay of the arrival of this in South Korea It has been only a few days, so it is not to be expected that this will be different in other places (in principle, therefore, it should be expected that before the end of the first quarter of this year 2014 it will be the game at the level world). The case is that the process has begun, which already indicates that there is a stable firmware.
One of the details that have been indicated by Korean users who have already installed Android version 4.4.2 on their LG G2 is that the support and support to ART is more than interesting. This is a positive step since the performance, at least on paper, is that this virtual machine allows a much more efficient execution of the applications than the current Dalvik. This is explained, in broad strokes, because the execution codes are prepared in the installation of the application, so it is fully prepared to be executed at any time (even before being launched for the first time), while that Dalvik compiles when the program is opened ... which makes it slower and more resource demanding. Also, the new firmware allows you to choose between running ART or Dalvik, which is an additional positive touch.
The first rumors about the LG G3
Well yes, at the same time that the beginning of the deployment of the update for the LG G2 has been known, some details have also begun to be filtered that could be from the game in its replacement. This model, which could well be called LG G3, and it is expected that present battle to the Samsung Galaxy S5 that will be presented according to all indications at the Mobile World Congress (something that is not expected to happen with the HTC M8, since its specifications do not venture that it is its most important competitor).
The truth is that there is no official announcement about its arrival, but media such as ZDNet Coea place it for the month of May, which is not at all unreasonable considering that the LG G Pro 2 will be presented at MWC. the characteristics that could make it different is its screen, which could reach 5,5 inches and have a Quad HD resolution (we must not forget that this manufacturer announced that it already had the test models of these in August 2013) . And, this, is more important because rumors have emerged that the Galaxy S5 would not finally include one of these panels. Therefore, it seems that there is "battle in war".
The fact is that there are two news that arrive from the Asian company today, the first that the LG G2 already begins to receive Android 4.4.2 -but still only in some markets- and that everything indicates that it is preparing a terminal high quality for the high-end market. Will it manage to unseat the Galaxy S5? It remains to be seen, but it should not be ruled out at all.
