Lg optimus one, they rule out that the lg optimus one immediately update to android 2.3
Data war around Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The latest and not yet released version of Google's mobile operating system is the center of a controversy that points to the minimum specifications required by the platform to work on a terminal.
From LG Mobile USA they have ruled out that their until now Android star, the LG Optimus One, can update to the most recent version of Google's system. To justify it, they point out that the processor of this touch mobile has a power of 600 MHz, while Gingerbread requires a minimum performance of one GHz.
This is the official data. The one that they maintain from Google through one of the company's engineers, Dan Morill, and that is supported by the magician of the filtration in the network, Eldar Murtazin. However, one of the technicians in charge of Android development , Brian Swetland, argues otherwise.
In his account of Twitter, this company employee has broken a lance in favor of mobile processors under the GHz power, ensuring that "any device that works well with Froyo should work even better with Gingerbread".
Swetland's words would not only be like manna from heaven for the more than a million users of the LG Optimus One (divided into several lines that in the United States have personality for each of the main operators), but for all those who have a mobile phone from the Optimus line, since at the moment they have not launched any terminal in this range that reaches the initially announced minimum power.
But in addition, this also brings a joy to users of a Motorola Milestone. The high-end of Motorola ended up quickly becoming outdated, and despite being one of the most interesting devices in the sector during the last Mobile World Congres 2010, the reality is that in terms of features it ended up being obsolete in a very short time with the appearance of the more advanced mobiles.
Despite everything, its 600 MHz processor seems like it could be compatible with Gingerbread. However, we will have to wait for the suitable terminals to start updating to clear up this question.
