Some of the devices expected to skip Jlly Bean update are LG Optimus F3, LG Optimus F6, LG G Pad 8.3, LG G Pro Lite, LG D315, LG G Flex and LG Optimus L9 II.

This shows that LG is trying its very best to bring most of its devices to Android 4.4 KiKat. This also hints that LG is least bothered about updating its devices to Android Jelly Bean 4.3 since it is not a major updated and most of its features are already included in Android 4.4 KitKat. Moreover, we also heard that LG Optimus 4X HD will remain with 4.1.2 and it is the only device with Nvidia Tegra 3 processor.

LG Optimus F3Q International Version:

As per the early reports LG Optimus F3Q is exclusive for T-Mobile. Therefore, we might not get to see the International version of this sliding hardware qwerty smartphone. Since, there is no official confirmation so let's hope for the best and expect an international version of this device.

Huawei Becomes the Third Largest Smartphone Market

Did you ever think about China’s Smartphone market? Well, here is something that would give you a better overview of this market and the potential Smartphone buyers China have. The third quarter report of 2013 is officially out. And according to this report a Chinese company Huawei has overtaken LG since the last Q2 report. This is not first time that a Chinese company has grabbed good market shares but it is for the very first time that a Chinese company has overtaken a company of LG’s class.

This report shows that Huawei is growing and that too very fast. It is expected that at the end of the Q4 Huawei will come out as a strong contender and will grab some more market shares. Huawei Ascend P6 was a great hit and managed to boost up the sales of the company. The best thing about this Smartphone is its very thin size along with 5 MP front facing camera.

However, at the moment Samsung tops the list followed by Apple. It is quite clear that Apple and Samsung will be able to maintain their positions in the upcoming Q4 reports however we might see some drastic changes at third and fourth spot.
