LG outs Jelly Bean update itinerary (for the Korean market, anyway)

DNP LG outs Jelly Bean update itinerary

LG has released a schedule for the Optimus VU, VU II, G and LTE II to get Jelly Beaned with the latest Android 4.1.1 flavor — at least in its home market, Korea. It’ll start next month with the Optimus LTE II and continue in December with the Optimus G, a device we’ve pawed a number of times. The first quarter of 2013 will see refreshes for the Optimus VU and VU II, both 5-inch 4 x 3 aspect ratio models, the latter of which was only recently launched. There’s no word on how that’ll translate to stateside model upgrades, which of course depend on the vagaries of US carriers — and we all know how that goes.

Optimus LTE II makes a cameo on Verizon as LG VS930 (Updated)

Optimus LTE II makes a cameo on Verizon as LG VS930

Oh hello there, LG VS930. This handset — which was caught in the wild by Mr. Blurrycam’s cousin, Ms. Quickiecam — looks an awful lot like an Optimus LTE II for Verizon. This makes even more sense when you consider that its predecessor, the VS920 aka. Spectrum, recently received end-of-life status. According to the anonymous tipster who sent us these pictures, the phone will ship with the following features:

  • Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
  • 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 SoC
  • 4.7-inch “True HD IPS” display (1280 x 720 pixels)
  • 16GB of built-in storage
  • Global radio support (GSM/UMTS/CDMA/LTE)
  • NFC (it comes with programmable tags)

There’s no word on whether the VS930 will inherit the Optimus LTE II’s 2GB of RAM [see update below] or the VS920’s branding — Spectrum 2 perhaps? We’ll keep you posted when we find out more, like pricing and availability. In the meantime, take a look at the gallery below for some closer shots.

Update: More information is coming to light about the VS930, including a possible July 13th launch and the service manual (PDF link), which contains a ton of photos and information. The 9.2mm (0.36-inches) thick handset features 1GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel autofocus camera.

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]
