It might have taken quite a while, but the LG Optimus 2X is finally receiving the long-awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update. The world’s first dual-core handset can officially be updated to the more than a year old software via LG’s Update Utility. In all likelihood, this will be the Optimus 2X’s last software…
A new, still unannounced LG device marked as E940 has been caught at GLBenchmark, with signs suggesting it’s heading to AT&T. How do we know that? Well, there’s a little piece of code that says “geefhd_att_us” which is pretty self-explanatory to me. Rest of the specs are mostly unknown, but from little we’ve got, we…
It was back in April 2011 when we told you that LG is working on its own ARM-based chips. The results of those plans may be unveiled at the upcoming CES in Las Vegas when we expect to see the first devices that use LG’s own chips. From what we’ve understood, the upcoming LG H13…
Bad news for those of you with the LG Optimus 7 – the Korean company won’t release a Windows Phone 7.8 update for your smartphone, despite the fact that Microsoft promised to push updates without carrier interventions. It looks like handset makers are still included in the process and LG decided cramming this version to…
While we’re still fawning over the LG Optimus G and Nexus 4, it looks like the next flagship device from the Korean company may not be too far away. According to MK.co.kr, the LG Optimus G 2 may see a release in the first half of 2013 and rock some very impressive specifications. The Optimus G…

Price wise, LG is asking 299,000 won for the Kids Pad, the amount that translates into…
For some reason LG decided to ship the Optimus G with a locked bootloader. We don’t get this since this is pretty much a non-Google branded version of the Nexus 4, which is a open as a device can be. Anyway, Android community doesn’t like this and few folks who know what they’re doing decided…
This is the LG I like to see. While the company has normally been more on the humble side, staying away from pointing fingers and over the top ads, it’s taken a bolder approach with its latest ad found in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The full-page ad says “We Make…
Scoring the Nexus 4 deal with Google may be a big win for LG but they don’t want to stop there. Quite the contrary, the Korean company is also looking to enter the nascent market of smartphones with 1080p HD screens. Such a device, marked as LG F240K, has been caught at GLBenchmark and from…
We know that T-Mobile is selling the hot-new Nexus 4 for $199 with a two-year contract, and up until this point we didn’t know how much the carrier will ask for the phone off-contract. How we have that information and are (kinda) glad to share it. The “kinda” part comes from the fact that T-Mobile…
