LG Optimus Black Gingerbread update rolling out in Europe and India

LG Optimus Black Gingerbread update rolling out in Europe and India

Posted on Jan 25, 2012 by MG3

You know how they say – better late than never. That seems to be exactly what LG is thinking when it finally decided to release a Gingerbread update for its Optimus Black smartphone. Not sure why it took them so long, but the good thing is that the new Android version is now available to download. Actually, we’re hearing only users in Europe and India can grab Android 2.3.4, while the rest of the world will have to wait for few more days/weeks (we’re not sure).

More Optimus handsets will receive Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade, LG confirms

More Optimus handsets will receive Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade, LG confirms

Posted on Nov 29, 2011 by MG1

LG's list of Android 4.0 phones is about to get a little longer, now that the manufacturer has confirmed the arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich for even more handsets. LG revealed the news today in a Facebook post, specifying that the Optimus Black, Optimus 3D and Optimus LTE will all receive updates to Google's latest OS, along with the previously announced Optimus 2X. The company also said that it's "continuing to evaluate the ICS OS to determine whether it is compatible with the functionality, features and performance of other LG smartphones," adding that it hopes to bring the update to as many devices as possible. LG hasn't provided any concrete timeline for the rollout, though it expects to ...

LG Optimus 2X finally gets the Gingerbread update; Optimus 3D and Optimus Black later in November

LG Optimus 2X finally gets the Gingerbread update; Optimus 3D and Optimus Black later in November

Posted on Nov 04, 2011 by MG1

LG is pretty crappy when it comes to firmware updates with their Optimus 2X being one of the last devices to get the Gingerbread treatment. Those of you living in Europe with the “world’s first smartphone with a dual-core processor” can finally get Android 2.3 update from LG — in case you haven’t took the “unofficial” route and rooted your way to Gingerbread.
Unfortunately, this update is only for folks who bought the unlocked device with no carrier subsidies and it’s still unclear when every Optimus 2X owner will get it. We’ll keep our eyes wide open and let you know as soon as we hear something new on that front.

LG Marquee caught on candid camera, is this Sprint's Optimus Black?

LG Marquee caught on candid camera, is this Sprint's Optimus Black?

Posted on Sep 12, 2011 by MG1

Is this a case of smartphone identity crisis, or just a repurposed chassis? Whatever the case may be, LG's got a Marquee handset ready to shore up Sprint's future line-up. The leaked shot comes courtesy of a now private video spotted by Android Central, and was taken at a Dallas-based Radio Shack Business Summit. It's evident from the one Mr. Blurrycam screen cap on display that the phone's currently running a vanilla build of Gingerbread, and sports a minimalistic design that's reminiscent of the Optimus Black. We can't be certain the two are indeed twins, however that leaked roadmap did indicate a stateside October bow for the Optimus Black -- this could simply be a rebrand for the Now Net...

LG Optimus Black gets its promised white version; pre-orders available in the UK

LG Optimus Black gets its promised white version; pre-orders available in the UK

Posted on Jul 11, 2011 by MG1

It was a bit strange and confusing when we heard about it for the first time, but we knew that a white version of the LG Optimus Black was coming despite the obvious contradiction with the device's title. Well, it looks like the issue has been solved in a simple, straightforward way – by changing the market name of the smartphone.
Listed as the LG Optimus White, a white Optimus Black model has been put for pre-order on UK cellphone retailer Phone4U's web page. Shipments are expected to begin no later than June 15, and the handset's price has been accordingly set to zero after committing to a contract with Vodafone, Orange, or O2.
If we do not take the color difference into account, both the...

UK: White LG Optimus Black available for pre-order

UK: White LG Optimus Black available for pre-order

Posted on Jul 01, 2011 by MG1

You may be thinking what the point of this article is. Is it about a white or black phone? The answer to that question is… both. The name of the device is LG Optimus Black and it’s available in white. Yep it sounds confusing but that’s the way it is. And to make everything even more confusing, the same device will be available in pink, though we don’t know when.
Anyway, British phone retailers Phones4U is allowing anyone to pre-order the white LG Optimus Black, with the shipping date set at July 15th. Interested users can choose between a number of plans starting at 20 GBP a month from Vodafone, Orange and O2.
Those of you who don’t remember, LG’s baby is one sexy and slim smartphone, rockin...
