        Great - LG L9 will get update and LG 4X HD probably not. I will not buy LG phone in future!

          Nice move from LG. Hope it updates several more phones like G Pro and others.

            im so confused as to how all those phones listed besides the vu3 aren't even flagship "worthy"devices have priority to get 4.4 over phones like the optimus g and optimus g pro which were considered top tier devices in their heyday.

            frustrated g pro user~

              from my calculations, a 5.5'screen vs a 5.2 one is 4mm wider and about 6,5 mm taller.
              With regard to the g3
              The g2 has a 2.6mm bezel on the sides. The g3 would narrow it down to about 1.5 probably, so the new flagship would be only about 2mm wider and probably have the same height(again, 1-2mm taller) as the g2.
              So the g3 would be 140.1mm tall and about 72.7mm wide. In comparison, the sg note2 with 5.5'as well is 151.1mm tall and 80.5mm wide.
              Awesome

                              They should skip 4.4 and move to 5.0 :)

                                    I started on 4.1.2 on a nexus 7 and have gone up in various updates to 4.4.2 KitKat and I've never noticed any changes or performance benefits on any of them.

                                      4.3 didn't bring anything meaningful so it'll be hardly missed. Actually 4.4 didn't change much as well so most users will likely not see any positive changes.
