LG is known for being a little slow when it comes to issuing Android updates, but fortunately for three of the devices in its 2012 Optimus lineup, Jelly Bean is on its way.

Not to over hype things, but the upcoming Galaxy S4 might be the best Android smartphone we’ve ever seen. Samsung’s been making some steady improvements to the Galaxy S line, so we’re expecting great things from their next flagship handset.
Supporting the rumors that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S4 in March, a new report is claiming that Samsung will start producing displays for the device later this month.
Some companies have started shunning trade shows like the Consumer Electronics Show and Mobile World Congress when it comes to announcing their next big thing. Samsung’s biggest Galaxy devices, for example, now get their own press events. But it seems LG isn’t one of them.
The company has released a new video teasing a “breakthrough” at MWC later this month, sparking speculation it has something special up its sleeve.
Sprint has today announced its fourth quarter and full year financial results for 2012, and they don’t make for pleasant reading.

It also saw more than 1 million Nextel subscribers jumping ship.
