Does anybody knows chinese? The news are about Huawei phones, but Zenfone(s) 2 are in a column and old Zenfones are in another. Don't know the source of the image.

Assume that since it is confirmed that nexus 7 2012 and nexus 4 are not getting M, that the left column is confirmed to receive and the right column is confirmed not to receive. Just my guess though, I don't read Chinese.
Damn, what if Asus hasn't released 5.1.1 because they're focusing on Android M?
A man can dream
Middle column are planned. Zenfone 2 are iin there. Third column are not available for upgrade
while it would be nice that they seem to have android M down the pipeline for the zenfone 2, its also kinda worrying that the zenfone 5 wouldn't, and its only a little over a year old. That is not a very long term of support for the phone.
2nd column can upgrade
3rd column cannot confirm
lets hope for the best

To be exact, the middle column is indeed listing devices confirmed for Android M update. The right column, however, means devices not (yet) confirmed instead of confirmed not. It can be an easily overlooked grammar mistake though.

I very highly doubt they could / would do that. 5.1 is a very important iteration. These *****es are still lagging on the update. Excuse the profanity.
First column is smartphone brand name, second column reads will be upgraded and third column is not confirmed upgrade. I had my wife read it since she is a native Chinese speaker/reader

No official word from HQ yet
Hi everyone!
I know you're eagerly awaiting an update to 5.1, but right now there hasn't been any official word from HQ regarding the progress of their testing and release date. I seriously appreciate everyone's patience, and I'll try to update you guys as soon as I can. :good:

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think HQ is more concerned about releasing new variants than supporting their phones, as typical asian business mentality: if successful, iterate, iterate, iterate til nobody remembers what they where doing in the first place.
And I would be less worried if those variations had all the same HW so it could be easily upgradeable in the future... but nope:
Asus Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL): Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (1.5 GHz + 1 GHz, octa-core)
Asus Zefone 2 (ZE551ML): Intel Atom Z3580 (2.3 GHz, quad-core) - Intel Atom Z3560 (1.8 GHz, quad-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE550ML): Intel Atom Z3560 (1.8 GHz, quad-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE550KL): Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 / 615 (dual / octa-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL): Intel Atom Z2560 (1.6 GHz, dual-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE500KL / ZE500KG): Snapdragon 410 (1.2 GHz, quad-core)
And next Zenfone 2 Max...

From a consumer and passionate smartphone fan's perspective, I completely understand your concern, and hope that we will continue to support these devices. As an ASUS employee, I unfortunately can't comment on HQ's business plans and why they feel the variants are being produced except for that we probably won't carry every model in the US. I know it's not the answer you might be looking for, and I wish I could provide more info.

The problem here is, my dear ASUS employee, that, like the other folk said, asian companies only care for profit from sales. They sale an item, then forget about it. They, (you), dont care about customer experience, nor ethics. You only care for sale, the consumers, on the big mayority, are plan and simple dumb consumers, they don't know the real value of their money, expended on items.
ASUS is an irresponsible and anti-ethical company, who laughs in the face of the consumers. they only espect you to go and buy the next iteration. this will be my first and last buy of any ASUS product.
this is my first asus device...I m impressed with the device hardware specs but the one thing that ticks me off is that u guys have still notreleased android 5.1.1 or 5.0.x version updates fr our device....this is the time when I think I shd have waited and gotten moto g3 bcoz Motorola is super quick with its updates and has plenty of developer support too..i was never gonna root this device but various problems wit memory and battery issues forced me to install cm 12.1...see the thing is no matter how good ur hardware specs are ..if u don't give a software update frequently ..its all a waste....I have pretty much given up any hope on receiving official android m upgrade fr this phone..so I guess ill have to wait fr cm13 since its gonna come quicker, and if the software updates are gonna be this slow in future as well...this might be the last asus smartphone I m ever gonna get..so please keep ur users updated about ur plans so atlest we know u people haven't forgotten about ur older devices...To end it all up...this is probably my last asus device @ASUS_Khang....I liked the hardware but without software update its all probably crap

I asked my local Samsung distributor on Facebook about availability and got a strange answer yesterday. They said it has been delayed because of Android software problems and should be here by end of July.
This sounds just like the rumour that i read about a week ago. I don't know what to think now. Does anyone have any information about this?
Only what you know - I have heard August as they ready 3.1 to ship with the device.
I picked up up a limited edition 10.1 on ebay for a reasonable price, and just got the upgrade to 3.1 so all's well on them here in the UK.
Perhaps see if you can get one from there if you can't wait...
I want a 3G tablet, so the LE is not a option, i already have a WIFI only Xoom for home use. Only thing that's holding me back from buying a Xoom 3G is the fact that the European Xoom's are not Google experience devices and don't get updates from Google.
So my only option for now is 10.1V, but I wonder if the 10.1V will get updates at all?
I don't understand how there can be a software problem. My Xoom runs on 3.1 for over a month now, also the GT10.1LE got the update and the GT10.1 was already released with 3.1 in US. And if i remember correctly then this rumor about software problems with Android 3.1 got already a response from Google and they said there is no such problems. So i just don't get it, how can Samsung make so much confusion...

Found this link on Samsung Poland Facebook page Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Poland at the end of June (Google translate)
In Poland there is now Samsung Mobile L!VE (http://www.samsungmobilelive.pl/o-sml.html).
I have already visited one stand and today I plan to see one more.
1. I have been told to expect it in the shops by the end of current month.
2. All specs on the stands list GT 10.1 with dual core 1,2 Ghz CPU (will try to take some photos 2day).
With recent pull back from 1,2 Ghz by Vodafone to 1,0 Ghz I really do not know what to think... especially that these stands are made by Samsung not some 3rd party company like Vodafone or independent distributor.

If you can, please ask if they have heard about the delay's because of Android software problems.
Vodafone changing the specs doesn't mean anything, it can be that they just released the information too early. This happened with Android 3.1 also, Adobe wrote in Android Market Flash update description that Android 3.1 is needed and this information was removed very fast and everything was denied until Google officially announced 3.1.
I found now one dealer in Germany that lists a release date. It is Conrad and they say on their webpage 4th of July 2011 for the 3G model. Let's see if that's true.
H.
I forgot the link: http://www.conrad.de/ce/ProductDeta...productcode=877127&zanpid=1514577257979813888
And the white 10.1 - june 30
http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/...hite-mit-Multi-Touch-Display/0403040&ref=list
And the black and white 8.9 - Juli 15
http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/...lack-mit-Multi-Touch-Display/0403040&ref=list
I don't have experience with Conrad. Are their expected delivery dates usually correct?

im not too sure how good my polish is but does that say that it has a 3.2mp camera and supports full hd? im quiet sure the 10.1 only supports 720p. so may be those specs are not 100%. thats to galtom for the pics thou. ne more info?
So, first release for Europe will be the 3G model?
Any news when the wifi only will be available?
That is exactly what it says.
Guys at the stand do not know anything about it as they do not really work for Samsung.
Basically there is a GREAT, BIG MESS around and with this tablet crated by Samsung . It is so big that now looks like even Samsung itself is not 100% sure what is coming out of his production lines.
If you ask Samsung through facebook or its websites in different countries you will get a lot of different answers but what seems to certain is:
all GT10.1 will run 1ghz tegra 2 soc
wifi will not have microsd
3g will have it
it should reach shops with android 3.1
touchwiz ux looks very good and works very good - for me it is actually more convinient and user friendly that google UI.

To be completly honest I have not asked as it is not the one I would buy :-(.
I shuold be later on 2day at another stand to compare unit model but do not know how reliable are infos given there.
As you see CPU shows 1,2 Ghz.... so I'd rather wait for something more official.
I just can not believe Samsung goes on (sill) making more mess, creating confusion and disinformation in regard of its tablet.
This is the first time I have seen official Samsung marketing showing 1.2Ghz... interesting
Have missed other stand 2day - sorry. And since it is a big holiday 2morrow in PL (not usual Sunday) I will not be able to get there 2morrow (it is not me but everything is essentially closed up) :-(.
Get back to you on this on Monday.

ZE551ML and ZE550ML are currently being tested for Android M. It's not yet on the announcement board of zentalk but a moderator categorically replied to my thread in zentalk and confirmed that it's already starting the development stage. (see attached photo)
Link : http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=51072&extra=page=1&mobile=2
@ASUS_Khang, would you kindly comment on this as to how we are going to accept and understand the statement given?? Thanks
I just read that as, they are testing to see if it's capable of running it. Not that they're actually doing anything about it. I just want 5.1.1 and the lack of that is bloody annoying. Come on asus.

Don't wanna be too optimistic and rude at the same time. But isn't testing it on those devices implies plan to implement. Otherwise why test if there is no clear plan of development? Again am not being too optimistic just looking at all possible angles.
Just my two cents.
I was trying to analyze the message ARP_ASUS said, if they are testing it on ZE551ML and ZE550ML. Then definitely there is a source code available and optimize already for x86 device.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but u can't test something on a x86 device if you don't have a Android M source code specifically for x86 right?
Asus is not even capable of giving us 5.1. Forget about 6.0.
Just my humble opinion.
Nothing to see on this line
Man, I sure do love Monday morning volatility and vitriol, don't you?
Short of an announcement on their official pages, I'd still take any confirmation of the Marshmallow update, even on the official forums from a mod as a response, with a bit of salt. That being said, this is quite interesting. It seems like it is a firm statement that the pre-Zenfone 2 devices will not be updated by ASUS to 6 (not extremely surprising but it's a good gauge for us as to potential expected device support longevity).
Indeed, testing implies development. There have been times in the past where a company has tested an update and, in the end, chosen not to finalize and push it out (Atrix 4g comes to mind, since the development builds were eventually leaked showing that work had been done trying to get it to work). With the relatively close system requirements changes between Lollipop and Marshmallow, that probably won't be a factor in it. I'm not sure how those x86 Intel sources factor into it, but with actual testing being done that builds up my optimism!

Yep and am pretty sure it's gonna be wild and filled with rants and complaints for the next few days in zentalk once the first gen or pre Zenfone 2 subgroup people read this and starts to sink in their heads. Lol

nc and all but we don't even know if they will ever release it, just like that 5.1

Hey - I can't really comment on what that means. Testing sounds great which gives me hope we'll see Android M, but that message in and of itself doesn't sound official enough for me. Again, I'm trying to help by asking HQ a ton of questions and seeing what the plan is. These things take a ton of time because they need to go through a lot of people. All I can ask is for your patience and understanding.
I plan on following up with HQ about this.

Thanks, Keep us posted if something comes up.
I don't see why there is all this whinging about the Zenfone 2 on the forum.
It has got twice the ram and 4 times the storage of my previous phone (S4) for less than half the price of the S4.
Data and phone signals are as good or better than the S4 in my experience, and the phone is faster and smoother.
As to the ram leak, with 4gig who cares., and with 64gig internal and 64gig external I don't give a toss about the bloat.
Battery - with my usage the battery lasts 2 days, the same as my S4 now that it has lollipop.
Asus is putting out firmware updates regularly, they may not be 5.1.1 or 6.0, but if they improve the phone experience so what.
My only gripe with my phone so far is that I had to get it from Hong Kong, if Asus can sell it in France then they can get off their asses and sell it in the UK.
While I would fully expect Asus to provide an update to at least 5.1, or even 6.0, I believe in you get what you pay for. For a $300 phone, you get good bang for your buck, and I appreciate Asus having a rep stay active in the forum, Reddit, and ZenTalk.
There's nothing that says Asus has to provide this update, since it's not a Nexus device, and looking at models like Samsung LG, or Moto, it takes months to get their phones to what is or was the current iteration of Android.
I did however stick my faith in Asus for what I think is a good product, and this will be the determining factor as to if I ever purchase anything Asus again. I think a lot of people feel that way. We could have gone the Moto or even OPO route, but when went with Asus. It's up to them to keep us happy and coming back.

I saw it being sold on Amazon.co.uk, the ww version that was being shipped from Amazon UK, which is great if you have a problem and need to return it. Though I would suggest getting the US version if you are set on getting this phone, because it has more bands unlocked, which I will admit their bands are a huge plus on this phone. Keep in mind that the second sim only works on 2G voice/text and data is software blocked.
Hoping for fixing battery drain Android OS crap with 6.0

To think about it i dont have so much hope in asus
But can you like flash a dev 6.0 rom or something like that from dev for zen
To be fair, Asus is still better than the likes of Oppo - many of their phones are still stuck on KitKat.
Android marshmallow update is going to be the life saviour for most of us, who ain't using cm 13, nor 12 ...... Well i am using echoe rom
But the main thing is that lollipop was not good and ruined the experience for most of us but now we will have marshmallow out and after a long wait we will get it in our hands within a month or so
Well there is a leak for marshmalow 6.0.1 running in zenfone 2 laser and soon zenfone 2 will also get it as it is their flagship. Hopefully the leak is true, and it looks like it's one of their employees who has leaked it.(he has the rog laptop ??)

Z00MD = Zenfone 2 Laser ZE600KL
This variant came with Snapdragon 615, and about Snapdragon, a lot of devices are on Marshmallow.
ZE550/551 still waiting for M. I think they will skip Feb security update and give us M with March/April update.
You guys are dreaming you won't see M for at least another year, ASUS can't even get past 5.0, out devices will all be dead before they figure out m

LOL Wanna bet?
Glad to know that ASUS is really working on providing Android 6.0.1 , but shouldn't Asus's first priority be the Intel variants (Ze551ml/Ze550ml) than the Snapdragon ones?
Yeah I look forward to the big M but if it doesnt come I'm just fine with L. Asus has been really good with their updates, not just firmwares but also updating our apps.
Echoe rom by far was the best stock based rom , so yeah even i can wait a month or couple for a good marshmallow build , hope it is gelatin free

ASUS has been very good withvupdate. While the update takes longer time to launch, bit in the end we will get it. So patience is the key. Everybody should know this before the buy an intel based chipset.

Not for my case, my phone ZE500CL is left out, and it's not even 1 year old

The updates are cosmetic bull...., there has not been a significant update in more than 6 months, and I stand by my statement the ZenFone will never get the M update till at least a year after N is released, the last 4 updates errr ridiculous in scope and added nothing to generational effectiveness of the phone. I was entirely ready to go 100% ASUS, but my experience with the support on this phone has guaranteed ASUS will never realize another from me for any equipment, I am likely to switch all my future phone purchases to LG or just go straight Nexus from this point forward. Just my humble opinion.

Well, ASUS is not going to take that much of time to release MM for our device. It might be release next month or after they'll launch Zenfone 3.

Your dreamin, they are just starting beta testing and that'll take them 6 months to a year or more, he'll they haven't even mastered 5.1 to this point so figuring out 6 is likely beyond their skill level, but hey you can dream..... good luck with that.

Well hope the best and wait for MM update to be bug - free or else with new,better insipred(from CM,Miui) features
I do not want any gimmicks all i want is aome smart and innovative stuff , like taking screenshot on pressing recent key is innovative af (i think even cm does not has that option in long press, i used only cm12 in s3 , so i have not used it much)
I love asus for what they are doing and i do not care for upgrades if some one has made a stock based awesome rom(echoe rom)
Asus is love, intel is what i do not love(for gpu, development, no image enhancement and no battery effeciency)(820 is best this year)

You should understand it's not easy to make roms and being new to it , it takes times to adjust , they are giving their best to give us the best MM update and with ironed out bugs too , hopefully it will happen , but i doubt intel for its efficiency and without using good kernels its far to get good battery and awesome performance together (you have to loose one generally but not in good kernels)
Its not about mastering 5.1 also , its about developing good base for future updates and with poor planing and development it will be hard , they should divide their team and do kick-ass development.
Do not be a jerk , by *****ing them for their only flaw, slow updates.
Intel is good except for weak gpu , lack of elements like enhanced imaging , battery or even sound quality ,these all are found in QC and MTK but often priced higher than intel

From kitkat to lollipop, yes what most people know it was only cosmetic. Not for me tough. But from 32 to 64 bit? Not really. Itll optimize zenfone 2 and might unlock the power within it. I cant say much about asus wouldnt release android M, well.. the beta is out on march. Lookin at the history, when asus releases beta, itll be followed with the actual thing. Its just a matter of time really. Asus isnt the fastest in rolling update, but it is a definite that update will come. You are the fast - update kinda person i suppose. Well if its what u want, you are right. You better stick with nexus.

x86 architechture is just a little worse with Android. If devs can figure out something for x86 and make a badass kernel then what's better than that? Or if all the applications and Android itself could be complile for both arm and x86 then x86 doesn't require arm code translator(libhoudini) which lacks performance.
OPO was the device that made oneplus what it is today, don't we deserve a small update that would complete our phone from the software perspective?
We are always given the argument that our hardware isn't voLTE capable, each one of us knows that voLTE is a software feature.
Let's tweet to Carl Pei (link below) with hashtag voLTE4OPO requesting voLTE update for OnePlus One, I've already done so. Let's also tell him we know voLTE is a software feature. It's your turn now. Tell your friends owning OPO about this initiative.
Also sign this petition -
https://www.change.org/p/oneplus-release-update-of-volte-for-all-oneplus-devices
Don't forget, 5 fingers make a fist, support of everyone reading this is needed. I'm quite sure we're still quite large in number together & our dream might come true if we work together ?
Thanks

We should get, even $45 phones today come with voLTE, and OPO is the first flagship which established the company, it is not acceptable if the ditch support to OPO. And it's not even 5 years since it was launched, how can you ditch your flagship product in 2 years?
Success or failure is another thing, atleast we can give a last shot. Who knows maybe they become kind for us â?

The 45$ phone you are talking about has launched in 2016. OnePlus one was launched in April, 2014.
Do you know how long that has been? 2 yrs, 9 months.
Tell me ONE phone, ANY ONE phone from ANY MANUFACTURER that has received support THIS late into its life. Not Samsung S series, not HTC One series, not Sony Xperia Z series, heck even the best manufacturer in update scenario, Motorola, abandons it's smartphones in 2 yrs. Don't fall into the misunderstanding that your so called tweets will get OnePlus onto its toes to give out an update to you. Do you see a phone called OnePlus X into its portfolio? It was launched in October, 2015 - 1y 6 months AFTER the launch of the One. That phone hasn't received a VoLTE update, and won't EVER. Come back from your dreamland, be a sport, either change your phone or live with the fact that One is a dead product.
Oh, and Carl is having a laugh at you right now for your efforts ?

I might not be precise with numbers, but what's wrong in an effort? It's not gonna take one's life making a tweet ? I'm sure OPO is also special for oneplus guys and our effort might make a change in their heart ?

I have no problems with that, but the thing is if the One had been that special, they would have shown it, like say, Oxygen OS might have been updated for it which never went past Android 5.1.1. In the end we have to respect Carl and his decision, OnePlus is after all a rational company with profit as its motive, whether they say it or not. And at this point, they have no point giving out an update to a phone that has a lot less number of users or that won't rake in even one cent for the company!

A little harsh but you are correct. No company apart from Apple supports their phones for 4 years, heck even Google stopped support for Nexus 5!

That's the point! Apple doesn't manufacture Android phones, had they been manufacturing androids, even they would have fallen in the same category as others!
Part of this update stopping is due to Google, they have given an official license to the OEMs to update phones for 2 years. Granted they mention 'at least 2 years', but the OEMs hardly care about at least, 2 year seems a reasonable time and hence they do not go beyond it. Due to the immense competition in Android world, there is very low margin on the android phones and OEMs hardly earn anything. So they expect you to bring business to them by buying a new smartphone, and not updating phones might motivate you to get a new one! If you compare the same with Apple, it is no secret that they have exorbitant profit margins on their iPhones and hence they can easily afford to support your phones for 4 years, because the support costs are already added to your iPhone's cost! So we should stop whining, and understand how businesses work!

LG to roll out Android 7.0 Nougat update to LG V10 and LG G4 later this year
LG is said to roll out the Android 7.0 Nougat update for LG V10 and LG G4 in the second half of this year
South Korean tech giant LG will offer Android 7.0 Nougat update to two of its previously launched smartphones- the G4 and V10 in the second half of 2017.
As per an IANS report, LG is planning to offer the latest software upgrade for the V10 in the second half of this year and for the G4 in the third quarter of this year. The reports also says that the above mentioned timeline applies to the phones sold in South Korea, and consumers who are using the specific models outside of the South Korea will be notified in a separate schedule later.
However, this scheduled update applies the two LG smartphones sold in South Korea. LG G4 and LG V10 global customers would be notified of a separate roll out later.
LG had earlier announced to discontinue support on the two smartphone including OS updates, citing the two phones are not optimized for Android Nougat OS. (How shameless LG can be?)
While the report says that LG will offer the latest update to the dated LG G4, we have our doubts as the handset has already been updated twice in past. LG V10 is no different as the smartphone has also received two OS updates. So take this news as a grain of salt and wait for an official update from the manufacturer.
LG started rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat update for LG G5 in the month of November and the company has announced the latest flagship LG G6 in the MWC 2017 last week. The smartphone features a 5.7-inch full vision 18:9 ratio display, Snapdragon 821 SoC, a 3,300mAh battery and runs on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat. LG G6 is packed with a dual rear camera setup with 13MP sensors 125-degree wide-angle lens.

Better late than never as I intended to stay with this phone till late 2018!! wohoooooooooooo
Was wondering why english was so spotty, checking the link shows it's merely a translation from korean.
Whata ya know.... time flies by
I'll believe that when hell freezes over and/or when I'll see it running on my 815p.
Anyone else been getting "software update has stopped working" whenever the wi-fi/data is enabled? Problem seems to have started in alignment with this LG announcement.
On the plus side, we'll have a later security update to carry us beyond 2018 and it's not as if android 6.0 to 7.0 was a huge upgrade compared to 4.0 to 5.0.
I will also stick to this phone for at least a year so i am kinda happy, but LG...
On plus side, it seems that they listen to their customers.

lol thats a long wait for a device that is riddled with hardware problems, I dont think most of us will see that day.
Well, if this works well & isn't riddled with bugs, I might just upgrade to a new LG in a year or two.
They shouldnt pretend that they are doing people a favor. And then saying it was optimized for Marshmallow. You should at least get 2 speedy big software updates. I can't trust these companies that just discontinues devices that are flagships.

Give them chance at least, in development there's nothing like speedy updates, even here on xda it's one of main rules "no ETA"
God it would be amazing if we could get real LG Nougat. We all know this device (G4) can run Nougat, I myself has been running it for several months now. I just hope they ad UX5.0 rather than leave ux4.0 look.
Either way im on a sprint g4. Im sure it will be u rootable too. Just like mm. And some of lolipop. Im still on the second update ever released just so i can keep root.
Be nice to some some unlockable or crackable bootloaders in these suposed updates...
will you all keep dreaming and writing your thoughts here until the end of the year when we get the nougat source ?
and then what ? rename the thread to "curse LG" and start writing about the bugs until we fix them ourselfs ? ..........
I don't think this phone is gonna get nougat. They launched g6 in same time they announced that there is no nougat for g4. All over forums there was complaining about their statement for g4 so it would mean loosing customers for g6 because dropping support for not so old flagship. Lg is already lost bunch of customers with lg g5 so this would be too much for them. That is why the statement was changed so fast,to save this few loyal customers...and i think when time comes to update it will just be flashed down the toilet... I sure hope i am wrong because i wanna buy g4 again. It is great device overall,with all it's flaws.
why does all other companies make 2 updates than? HTC is almost dead and they updated 2015 flagship first if i am not mistaken.
If your logic would stand, they wouldnt even update their phones, just buy new phone every year.
Why does the article in OP state the G4 has been updated 2 times? Didn'tâ the G4 start with Lollipop? Now we're on Marshmallow, that's one major update unless my math is off. However, since I bought mine last year I've done 5 updates but those were maintenance updates the last one was January security patch for example. The 5x runs fine on Nougat 7.1.2 from my experience and it was launched with and optimized for Marshmallow.
Corporate turds. Just do it already. I'm glad I'm not the only one outraged by their stating there isn't plans to update. Now they're doing it? Dunno.
I know that with he hard work of awesome people like Codeworkx & Genesixx we know how awesome Nougat os on thos device. I'm just scared of the in your face bloatware that could make the system just awful.
Ah, feels good to rant and keep it on topic! LOL
BTW correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the G3 AND the G2 both receive Marshmallow? Those old ass handsets!? Psssshhh, give us us Nougat!

Both mentioned phones received two major updates:
G2 from JB to KK to LP
G3 from KK to LP to MM
Following this logic the G4 should have the Nougat right about now without playing this "maybe we will update it by the end of year" bs....
