LG has finally stopped bumbling about and contradicting itself regarding its plans to update its Android range to Android 4.0, announcing that three of today’s high-end LG Android mobiles will see an update to the “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS.
According to LG’s Italian Facebook page, the LG Optimus 2X, Optimus Black and Optimus 3D are the lucky chose ones, which will all see Android 4.0 arrive at some unknown time in the future. And here’s the full statement from LG’s UK site:
LG confirms today that the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS will be initially available for the following high-end LG smartphones which were introduced this year: the Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE. We are also continuing to evaluate the ICS OS to determine whether it is compatible with the functionality, features and performance of other LG smartphones to make the ICS OS available on as many LG smartphones as possible.
In December this year, the forthcoming upgrade schedule and additional specific models for the ICS OS upgrade will be posted on our LG Mobile Global Facebook page (www.facebook.com/LGMobile) and on our local LG websites. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
Smile, LG ladies! It’s a good news day!
LG also says it’s currently evaluating the rest of its range and will update this list during December, should it decide ICS will happily fit on any other models. That £299 Optimus 3D seems marginally more tempting today.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

Heard this great news from many sources. Will be a big move for LG, to solve their software problems and utilize the full power of amazing hardware.
