Optimus LTE 2 also getting some Jelly Bean action
It's been confirmed that the LG Optimus G and Optimus LTE 2 will be the first handsets from the Korean firm to get the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.
Announced via the official LG website, the Optimus LTE II will see Jelly Bean arrive next month, while the Optimus G will be treated to the sweet delight in December – a wonderful Christmas present for any of its owners.
There's good news for Optimus Vu and Optimus Vu 2 owners, as the peculiar 4:3 aspect ratio handsets will being seeing Android 4.1 arrive on their screens during the first quarter of 2013.
Speed boost
LG claims that the Android 4.1 upgrade will bring improved touch response, as well as a faster user experience, with a speed boost for web browsing and application switching.Roll out for each phone will begin in Korea, and then spread to other regions, so while there could be a Christmas treat for Korean Optimus G owners, the rest of the world may have to wait a few more weeks before they get a present of their own.
Sadly there's no mention of LG's other handsets, such as the quad-core Optimus 4X HD or the Optimus L7, both handsets we'd expect to see Jelly Bean on at some point.
