Google. Motorola. These are names that we expected to be saying when we announced the first smartphone to be officially updated with Android Lollipop, but it appears LG has something to say about that. LG has today officially announced that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for LG G3 will roll out this week in Poland with other markets soon to follow, which could definitely make it the first smartphone to be updated to the new version of Android seeing as Google has been radio silent on updating the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, and Motorola has just pushed its soak test out. In their official announcement, LG detailed a few of the new features that the LG G3 will see after the update:
“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.”
This is pretty impressive form from LG, who says that it will announce a schedule for its other devices in the near future. Naturally though, the LG G3 was prime candidate to receive the update first, and it appears LG is keen to stress that they are the first manufacturer to offer an Android Lollipop update. We are impressed, LG; we are impressed.
