LG : Just like Samsung, LG hasn't issued any official release regarding updates but since Nexus 4 is getting one, it is safe to assume that others will follow suit. Remember Optimus G is very similar to Nexus 4 on the insides. The following LG devices may get updated soon.
Optimus G
Optimus G Pro
LG Optimus L7 2 Dual
Optimus G2

Rumours?
Asking the same from LG since last 1 month : Still not even responded.
Worst Company in Terms of Updates. " Only Bought Due to CM not due to LG". So no Hopes Here for anytime soon.

It's just speculation. Going by LG's history, though, updates are the last thing they're gonna give. With LG, it's like, "Want a newer iteration of Android? Then buy our latest flagship." Which is sad, because they make some really good phones.
I think next month Android 4.3 update...
Dear
currently there is no update for the model, but you can contact our call center and they will provide you with an update.

Recently I got the Optimus G PRO E989 in Brazil. The Android is still 4.1.2. There is expected to launch an update to Android 4.3
The LG OPTIMUS PRO never received an update. I would like a report from LG LG. OPTIMUS GN2 comes with Android 4.2.2
I called the support in Brazil and nobody knows if it will be updated and when.
Is there any date or timeline?

They mean that if you call their call center, they can provide you more details as to what is going on with a possible (if any) Android update.
They don't mean that if you call them, they'll update your phone.
Just making sure it's clear

Looks exactly like a bigger Optimus 2X with a different back.
The 4X looks way better in my opinion (still the G looks about 1000 times better than the S3 :laugh
The G will make my June 2012 2gig ram Optimus LTE 2 phone cheaper and far less popular, but technically this phone rocks and I have no regrets. I've had minor problems that have been fixed. I recommend the LTE 2 as a reliable awesome cheaper alternative to a very expensive "G".

S3 is one ugly brick. I love my S2 but if Sammy continues with curvy designs and shiny funky color schemes like S3, I may have to look elsewhere at the year end. From the specs, Optimus G seems to have it all and a killer screen too. Can't wait for it to come to AT&T.
I thought this thing was supposed to be unveiled at IFA, now I wonder when this will be out in the market.
The LG Optimus G will be available for purchase in Sept n SKorea.

I think that is absolutely the most beautiful looking phone out there, without a doubt! Therefore I am so f*****g happy that I am a tester for LG:s phones so I will receive that one for free to test it!
How do i sigh up for that job? Who wouldnt test phones? What are the requirement for the job? Anything special?

Actually it wasn't anything I signed up for or applied, I won a competition LG hosted in Sweden so I received a LG Optimus 4X HD which I wrote a 6-pages review on and also did a youtube-review and kept a good relation with those at LG so they said that I can be a tester for their upcoming phones as well

I am talking with LG Sweden, but if I have any good pointers or proposals they forward them to LG center. In my report that I will send in today I have written about some suggestions to be in the v10g update and I took all the proposals I found here on XDA, I also wrote about that LG should unlock their bootloader.

I have a feeling the release of Optimus G will also be very much delayed like the O4X, seeing that they keep on delaying and moving the release dates of the videos on their teaser site. Maybe you should also write to them about punctuality and sticking to their schedule.
I agree with the release date stuff. LG should be sort of like Blizzard Entertainment. Best stuff...no release dates until finalized.

Tell LG i want a quadcore serial processor with 2 Nvidia CUDA GPUs. One gpu for graphics and another gpu for parallel processing. Offload video and video editing and such to the GPUpu. I dont care if the phone is a bit thicker. I want THIS phone.
The Tegra 3 has 12 cuda cores in its GPU. Lame. I want more CUDA cores.

I have added this to my report that I will send to LG tomorrow, I haven't experienced the delay of release, probably because I haven't been so up to date with LGs releases, but I wrote it in my report so I will se what they respond!

This video released today is the closest thing to the actual design of Optimus G. The phone looks nice and looks like it's better to hold off buying the O4X now. September 19 might be the launch date for this device.
Hey there I'm thinking on purchasing the LG Optimus G instead of Nexus 4 because of the 32GB vs the 16GB , But the Nexus 4 as faster updates and I love the stock Rom , I wanted to ask if is it possible because of the hardware similarity turn the LG Optimus G into a Nexus 4 like put the firmware or something , because the are just equal expect the software
Hope some Dev read this and give it a shot!
Thank your for your time !

Cause you will endup with a semi-functionnal phone and will probably break it trying to get back / will not get everything working correctly. If you really want a nexus 4 go with it.

I know the Cm10 rom but I had some on my Galaxy s2 and I didn't like them that much and when I "played" a little with a friends Nexus 4 I really liked the stock rom!
I purchased on Ebay and was lucky really !
On Uk ebay you can get the Nexus 4 for about 250£ with extras and in mint condition!
The LG Optimus G was pure luck for me!

You're either going to have to make a compromise with the 16 gigs of storage on the Nexus 4, or make a sacrifice on the stock experience and the latest OS and go for the Optimus G. For me, it was the low storage capacity of the Nexus 4 and the smaller screen size (thanks to the on-screen buttons) that settled it in favour of the Optimus G.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/16/lg-optimus-g-pro-due-in-40-more-countries/
Sorry U.K., doesn't look good for a native device on one of your carriers. Should see a decent up-tick in traffic around here soon, though. I'm hoping there won't be too many variances in hardware between the countries seeing as how the ones released so far are almost identical aside from the Korean TV tuner/antenna.
This is an awesome phone!
It's better than S4 as well as the Note 2!
I'm so fortunate to have bought this awesome phone, coming from the tiny HTC One in May 2013 , after dumping my S4 in April 2013.
We all know that LG has a bad name before the G and now, the G Pro series! But, not now!
The G Pro is super duper awesome!
It's slim, the LG Optimus UI is so features-rich, speedier and smoother. It's way better than TouchWiz!:good:
Cheers!
I think this is great ! I'm hoping this will favor the LG optimus g pro getting updated to newer android releases because a lot of countries are supporting it.
Just wonder, any news of Android 4.2.2 OTA for G Pro?

What bad names are you talking about? LG Nitro was a heat long before plans for G. and custom roms are still popping in forum and LG even released 4.1.2 for her own LU6200 recently . So LG was great long ago, its the strange people that prefer subpar HTC or Sammy, that call LG bad names :laugh:

Likewise it was with Optimus G, soon to be released in Europe E985 will have 4.2.2 from the start. I think so. Then update will come to AT&T, as it was with 4.1.2 for E970

Once G Pro is released in Europe, I think the Asian's G Pro should have the 4.2.2 OTA too.:silly:

For Asian version; LG-E988, there isn't any FM radio!

No. It's the lg g pad II 10.1 going to get marshmallow, which has Snapdragon 800 processor and 2 GB ram. It's impossible for any previous g pads to get official marshmallow.
