South Korean LG G3s will get Lollipop soon
LG has won the domestic Lollipop update race with the impending rollout of the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for its LG G3 flagship. The three major carriers in South Korea will get the update at roughly the same time.
The 5.0 update brings a new default runtime – ART – which offers speed improvements. LG has also added a smart lock system that is disabled when a trusted Bluetooth device is in range (e.g. a smartwatch). Support for smartwatches, TVs and tablets has also been improved (presumably referring to QPair).
The company first released the update in Poland – clearly a test rollout to catch any last minute issues before the rollout to bigger markets begins. The plan is to get the update released fully around the world by the end of the year.
The President and CEO of LG Electronics and Mobile Communications said for LG"s Korean blog that the company will continue to strengthen its relationship with Google and provide the best possible after-market service.
