The LG G3 Be Upgraded To Android 5.0 Lollipop Next Week

Things get really interesting in the Android scene. One of the main complaints that support manufacturers is its slowness to bring new versions of Android to their devices, whether tablets or smartphones. Last year, KitKat as surprise we were able to upgrade your Motorola Moto G to Android 4.4 before some Nexus models might receive its corresponding OTA. Something was changing, and Google's hand was noted in the manufacturer. The change in philosophy was clear and now it seems that LG will follow the path as Koreans have given us the best news they could give us these days. The LG G3 be upgraded to Android 5.0 next week Lollipop, winning the game also many Nexus and Motorola soon accompanying his Moto X.

LG will get this refresh rate is something to look for in the case of Motorola talking about a modification of Android almost nonexistent while LG does have a very strong layer would require more aggressive customizing the operating system. If reports are correct, Android 5.0 takes little more than a week in the offices of LG and the rest of the competition, would you give it time to adapt to present the update next week? Recall that Google set a November 12 for update after delaying the start date that dated the 3rd.

Perhaps all concerned that the layer of LG not so much affect the operating system as the competition, like Sense or TouchWiz, Xperia Launcher and even as to which we have always regarded as one of the lightest. If they get free Lollipop LG LG G3 for next week will be talking about that they and Motorola would be reaching a speed of updating itself as Google with its Nexus competition should perhaps reconsider whether their way of working is correct. You have to differentiate and for that there are layers, of course, but it seems that another's handle better than others.

LG Unveils Smartphone Display with “World’s Narrowest Bezel”

Each manufacturer has its priorities and it seems pretty clear that in the minds of LG is getting to maximize the surface of a Smartphone screen, minimizing everything else. If you look at the LG G2, was actually the first milestone that Koreans decided to walk a year ago. A 5.2-inch terminal which was even lower than some of her classmates 5 inches. The reduction was the key frames and the LG G3 turned to comply, although arriving at 5.5 inches. Now LG will take another step and will soon be able to manufacture bulk 5.3-inch screen with full HD resolution that will only 0.7mm of side frames. Something that would make it virtually non-existent and their phones would also thanks to other improvements, resistant to both water and dust.

There is no doubt that LG are taken seriously minimize the size of their Smartphone and that can be very important in a market that demands ever greater displays, forcing us to take real stuff in pockets and bags. The guys at LG have developed a process called Neo Edge by which the circuits controlling both the display and the touch panel and backlight system are linked in an integrated circuit, which enables them to reduce the size to a minimum. As we say, 0.7 mm frame, a completely ridiculous figure when compared to some manufacturers who have many difficulties to accommodate the size of your devices.

This process has another plus is that perfectly controls light leakage. That's it? No, they have also managed to bring the whole process to the point seal the screen and make it resistant to both water and dust. As we see, LG has developed a truly comprehensive process that will make them more competitive manufacturing terminals. If you liked the LG G2 and G3 by size LG wait to see the future that will carry this Smartphone screen, as I discussed earlier, is ready to go into production this November.

What will the Smartphone chosen to wear it? Knowing the size and resolution could be a lucky or maybe LG G2 Plus some other variant of LG G3 still unknown, companion of S or LG LG G3 G3 Beat. Hopefully it from LG we get more information.
