Good news LG G2 owners, it looks like AT&T has begun to push out the much awaited and highly anticipated Android 4.4 KitKat update rather unexpectedly! We have been hearing about how the LG G2 in other parts of the world have received their KitKat update, and we had to wonder just how long would those of us living stateside will have to wait until we receive ours? Interestingly there has not been much news or rumors surrounding AT&T’s release, so we guess it is something of a pleasant surprise when we found out that AT&T had announced that the Android 4.4 KitKat update would be available for LG G2 customers.

The update should be rolling out today but as is the case with most updates, we expect that the rollout will most likely be staggered, meaning that it will probably be released in phases so don’t worry if you haven’t received your update yet. According to AT&T, the update will bring about an improved user interface, improved battery efficiency, a boost in speed, Printing in the Cloud, and an improved Knock On in which they claim that responsiveness of the feature has been increased.  For those who can’t wait, you can head on over to your phone’s Settings, General, About phone, Software Update, Update Now to try and pull it manually. In the meantime LG has also released a video in which they compare the LG G2 running on Jelly Bean versus one running on KitKat. The differences are noticeable so you can check that out to get an idea of what to expect post-update.

We first started hearing rumors about the LG G2 mini back in December, and since then there has been much chatter about the device. Only recently LG teased it on its Facebook page, hinting at an imminent unveiling. It was believed that LG G2 mini will presumably be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2014, but it appears that the company has decided to do so a bit early. The LG G2 mini is now official, it brings toned-down specifications in a shell that resembles its sibling, the powerful LG G2.

We recently reported that LG Korea had started to roll out the much awaited Android 4.4 KitKat update for its flagship smartphone in Korea. It appears that the company might have been conducting a soak test. Usually OEMs conduct soak tests with volunteers, they seed the update to a few people in order to be absolutely sure that there aren’t any issues with the update. Reports coming in from Korea suggest that the Android 4.4 update was only rolled out to five percent of all G2 owners in the country.

It is claimed that LG found no bug after the limited roll out of this update and that it has now given the go ahead to start releasing Android 4.4 KitKat for the remaining G2 owners in the country. There have been some reports from those who received the update that they’re noticing battery and browser problems on their devices, but the issues don’t appear to be plaguing everyone who received said update. LG Korea is expected to start releasing Android 4.4 to all G2 owners in Korea from next week. It is still not known when the company plans to finally release the hotly anticipated update in other major markets such as the U.S., certainly G2 owners Stateside would be itching to get their hands on some chocolatey goodness.
