The LG G2 is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market today and it is about to get the latest and greatest from Android. This is not the first version of the smartphone to get the Android 4.4.2 update, in fact, this week, AT&T sent the update out to users as sort of a surprise since it was never mentioned beforehand. T-Mobile is planning to get the update out to users, it will just be a matter of time according to one online source. The software was spotted on T-Mobile’s servers which likely means that it will be sent out shortly.
In the meantime, because it was spotted on the servers, it was also made available for download by a user over at the XDA-Developers Forum this week. The difference here is that because it is not an official version of the software, it will not be a recommended download unless you know what you are doing with your smartphone. Typically, unofficial versions are the final versions, but you have to do all of the downloading and installing yourself. This is possible if you have your phone “rooted” and are familiar with sideloading software.
If you are not familiar with it, very bad things can happen to your phone if things are not done correctly and most of the time that will also void any warranty that you do have. The file is larger than 1GB so it will take some time to download and install, but if you have been waiting a while for it, the time is now unless you want to wait for the official version. LG or T-Mobile have not mentioned the update at this point so it could be a couple more weeks before it is officially released.
The LG G2 has been getting very good reviews since it showed up on the mobile market right around the end of summer of last year. The phone sports a huge, 5.2-inch IPS LCD touch screen display with a 1080×1920 resolution giving you a full 1080p HD experience. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, which was one of the fastest on the market at the time clocked at a whopping 2.3GHz. The phone also comes with 2GB of RAM and a nice 13MP camera on the back side that can record in 1080p HD at 60 framers per second.
