[NEWS] LG Optimus 2X & LG OPTIMUS P500 to get Gingerbread update in June or July

The LG Optimus 2X will be getting updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread this summer. That’s according to the FAQ section of LG Denmark’s support site. The release date for the update isn’t as specific as some of you might have hoped for, but it's still something.

The timeframe for the Gingerbread update of LG’s Tegra 2 powered phone is June-July with a promise for a more exact date when the launch nears. That puts the LG Optimus 2X update after the LG Optimus One P500 update.

Later is better than never but the competition is either running Gingerbread already or will soon launch with Gingerbread out of the box.

It’s not just the LG Optimus 2X either – the Optimus 3D is slated to launch with Froyo too.


OPTIMUS P500 TO GET UPDATE IN MAY !!

We already know the Froyo-running LG Optimus One best-seller will be getting the Android Gingerbread update, but so far there was no telling when this might happen. Now, thanks to LG India we know that the update will most likely be happening in May

LG initially stated the Optimus One won't be upgraded to Android 2.3 because it doesn't meet the minimum requirements. However the company changed its mind shortly after that and promised us a Gingerbread update. It will come half a year later - somewhere by the end of May.

And just when we thought things are about to become crystal-clear LG posted another statement to confuse us. It seems the May thing is not confirmed and things might change.

We are hoping this second message has something to do with the LG legal department, who are afraid of the consequences if the company misses a promised release date.

Anyway, the most important thing here is LG is working on the Gingerbread update and it close to being completed.
