The South Korean company LG has just hit the table hard by announcing that in the coming days it will update its flagship, the LG G3, to the Android 5.0 Lollipop version. At the same time that Google has not decided to update the terminals of the Nexus range to this version of the Android operating system, LG has officially confirmed that as of next week it will begin to distribute the Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the LG G3 of the users residing in Poland, while the rest of the countries will gradually receive the same update in the following days.
As confirmed by LG from its official blog ( http://www.lgnewsroom.com/ ), the first to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be the owners of an LG G3 resident in Poland. The rest of the countries would receive the update -literally- " in the near future ", so it is to be assumed that users from countries like -for example- Spain should not wait beyond the month of November to receive this same update in their mobiles. In addition, LG informs in its statement that after this update it will announce the rest of the mobiles that will also receive the Android version 5.0 Lollipop, and it is to be assumed that the owners of the LG G2, LG G Pro 2 and LG G2 Mini are firm candidates to upgrade to this new version of the Android operating system.
Images showing an LG G3 running under Android 5.0 Lollipop are already circulating on the network, so it is easy to get an idea of the new features at the interface level that this new update will mean for LG smartphones.
The surprising thing about the announcement is that we are talking about an update with global distribution that will take the lead over the Nexus range mobiles and mobiles in the Google Play versions, since from the first moment it was expected to be Google itself the one that distributed the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to their devices first. Although there is no official justification for this, it seems that a last minute problem with battery consumption has been responsible for the delay in the Lollipop update that owners of the devices of the Nexus range are suffering.
This official announcement from LG has probably just caught all the big manufacturers (Samsung, HTC, Sony, etc.) by surprise that in recent weeks had confirmed to be working on their respective Lollipop updates for next year 2015. We do not know if the movement with which LG has taken the lead in updating Android 5.0 Lollipop will make other manufacturers release long before their respective updates or if, instead, everyone will wait until January of the year 20 15 to start updating their mobile high-end to Lollipop versionfrom Android.
