Google usually rolls out the latest update for their Nexus smartphones in the first phase. With the Android Lollipop, Google had confirmed the Nexus devices to get them first and next would be the Motorola line.
However, LG seems to outdo Google by releasing the Android Lollipop for the LG G3 smartphones before even the Nexus devices will get them.
LG was the manufacturer of the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, but will offer the Lollipop to G3 handsets before the two.
No doubt the new flagship Nexus devices (Nexus 6 and Nexus 9) will be the very first to get the Lollipop out of the box, the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 were officially in line to get the updates first.
LG has announced that the LG G3 in Poland will get the Lollipop update this week and the rest of the markets will follow after that.
This latest Android OS delivers a host of improvements including a new design language with added depth, shadows and animations. Notifications are improved with a new layout and color scheme and will be available on the new lock screen. A new security feature to strengthen the connectivity between devices will include enabling users to unlock their smartphone when it is physically near a pre-registered Bluetooth device such as the LG G Watch or G Watch R. Lollipop also introduces Android Runtime (ART) software to improve performance.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Additional details related to LG devices will be announced in the near future as the Lollipop upgrade becomes available in local markets.
So if you own a LG G3 smartphone, keep checking for updates as you never know if you could be luckier than your friends who holds the first Lollipop.
