flagship smartphone, the G2, will be

user, LG India said, "The Lollipop update
for LG G2 is expected in Q2 2015. Stay

and CIS regions gradually thereafter.
The LG G Pad 8.0 comes in two variants

Wi-Fi only model. Both models are
identical in terms of specifications apart
from the 4G connectivity option.
