A number of Android smartphone makers — including HTC, Motorola, and even Sony — have all announced their Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade plans for their latest flagship devices, but we haven’t yet heard anything official from LG regarding the G2.
But according to one LG Canada representative, the handset will receive the latest version of Android in “late Q1” 2014.
The three largest Canadian carriers, Rogers, TELUS and Bell, are in the process of pushing out a rather hefty unexpected over-the-air (OTA) update to all of their carrier-branded Samsung Galaxy S4 and S4 Mini handsets located in Canada. This much-anticipated update finally brings Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and a newer version of the TouchWiz UI to the handset, in addition to support for the Galaxy Gear.
Good news for those of you in Canada waiting for the new Moto G: the handset is now available to purchase on both TELUS and Koodo Mobile, and you can get it for free when you sign into a new two-year contract. If you want to buy it outright, it’s C$200.
As from today, Samsung’s latest Android-powered tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1 – 2014 Edition, is available to purchase from several “major retailers” in Canada. Unfortunately, Canadians will only be able to get their hands on the Wi-Fi-only octa-core Exynos version of the slate at present, but rumor has it that the 4G model will not be too far behind and should be well its way within the next few months.
Canada’s largest mobile carrier, Rogers, is officially offering HTC’s most impressive mid-range Android-powered handset, the One Mini, on any of its 2-year contracts for C$99.99 or C$399.99 on a month-to-month tariff.
