LG Android 4.0 upgrades Optimus 2X in Q2 2012

Kag · Dec 26, 2011

Anyone wanna guess the delay duration?

LG plans to begin upgrading its portfolio of Android handsets to Ice Cream Sandwich in the second quarter of next year, the company has just announced. Among the first phones to benefit from Android 4.0 will be the Optimus 2X, which launched as the world's first dual-core smartphone earlier this year, the recent Optimus LTE, and the upcoming Prada Phone. They'll be followed by the Optimus 3D, Optimus Black, Optimus Big, and a couple of other handsets in Q3 of 2012. Not exactly the most aggressive rollout roadmap in the world, but we'd rather see the ICS upgrade happen later than never.

Importantly, LG continues to make no mention of the American variants of these phones — such as the T-Mobile G2x or the AT&T Thrill 4G and Nitro HD — what their fate will be remains to be seen.

Nice.. hopefully LG won't just keep pushing the dates further as they did for gingerbread.

eraldo · Dec 26, 2011

Good news, screw the american versions, they need to be updated by their carriers anyway.

Just wish nvidia would released their crap so the dev community can make a decent ICS release NOAW.

Q2...yes...

BUT Q2 for LG's calendar, not the Gregorian calendar.

finally, i hope so, it wouldnt late Q3.

I wonder about delay... Maybe we should bet?
I really hope we will receive it, but till that time I think CM with ICS will be ready.

el_charlie · Dec 26, 2011

Q2 ends in late june, maybe that's when we'll get it.

LG won't release ICS on early april. That's a fact.

I seriously doubt cm is going to release ICS for us untill its already out.

tomasiqu · Dec 26, 2011

Maybe yes, maybe now. It can be the same situation as with Gingerbread. CM was provided before the official release.

vitaminxero · Dec 26, 2011

The situation might be worse since we need LG for the camera and Nvidia source (or binaries that help... not 100% sure on that). An LG leaked build may help to a very limited extent. Until then it's just a waiting game.

LG announced in march 2011 that the gingerbread update will come "soon".

I guess you're just referring to the post in the nvidia forum? There's no timeframe unfortunateley.

ahahaa! good one, i know what you mean.

but a month back Nvidia officially announced that they would release their codes in the first quarter so they can be more dev friendly, and help get ics to tegra devices...

bliizzz · Dec 27, 2011

I guess by the end of nov 2012 we should hav it :0

Wont the next version of android be announced by then?

Medizinmann · Dec 27, 2011

Hello!

Yes, Jelly Bean will be most probably out by then and the next generation Google phone with it...

I am confident that the Cyanogenmod Team will be faster than LG and ICS/CM9 will be released by Q2/2012

I am also sure that LG will release its ICS build no earlier than late Q3 to Q4/2012 – but I would be very happy if I am wrong and LG can pull its stuff together and get ICS out as announced…

But all of this is of course IMHO.

droweed · Dec 28, 2011

that's very cute, I'll expect the ics update by December again

One way or another we will get it, super late from LG or half a year earlier through Nvidia source and CM9.

The source for their development platforms (e.g. Tegra 2's Harmony and Ventana along with whatever else they came up with.). O2X has slightly different hardware but this will be a lot better than the nothing Nvidia has provided so far. Though, given the lack of camera, even on OMAP platforms (TI released source), it looks like camera and maybe a few other things could ultimately be up to LG. Let's hope they leak something early. =P
