01 May, 2013
The list includes the usual suspects - the Nexus family, but also a low-end Pantech and a Huawei phone.

    Common_636, 01 May 2013When it comes to phone design, whether its from nokia, sams... more"if it aint broke, dont fix it"

    have you heard that one?

    Now, over the time, even tho its not "broken", it is tiresome... they sold millions using the same design, just like everybody else (ex. samsung). now its time to make another modification. (not change, modification to the same design that got you the millions devices sold)

      So does that mean the N1 has a second life from Gingerbread to JB or KLP? I do hope so...might be time to dust up the best made Nexii despite its age.

        we all know that most of the new updates can run on older devices just look at all the custom roms out there eg:4.1 on samsung p1000 ect,its just the phone manufactures who once they feel theirs no money left to be made from that device they push it to one side to make way for the next money earner that they roll out...

            If you guys think that there'd be any chance that older devices will get 4.3, chances are we'll get it via custom roms. If Android is indeed optimizing later iterations for underpowered devices, then we're seeing a great performance boost for current flagships and greater compatibility for older devices. Lower app sizes, optimizing RAM, extended support for older devices.

              If a single-core 1GHz processor and just 512MB of RAM phone can run on 4.3, then my dad's Sam Galaxy GT-S7562 can run on it too. Lets hope there will be an update for it and that it will be smooth ^^

                  Apple fanboys must be very frustrated because they do not have influence over Apple. Whatever Apple offers, they must accept. So they still have to see with 4" display with a very slow dual-core processor with just 1 GB RAM the most.

                          So KLP is 4.3 not 5.0
                          Hmm... this things reminds me of 2.1 era when 2.1 went up to 2.2 froyo & 2.3 GingerB. it did change the name entirely. so it is possible name changes from Jelly Bean to KLP by only 0.1 ver number.

                                These people who say Android OS lag are Apple Fanboys.
                                In fact the latest Android OS Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is buttery smoother than iOS.
