Finally, much awaited Android Lollipop for LG G2 802 has been arrived to India with loads of enhancements, material design and all Android Lollipop stock ROM features. Today when I have checked for software update, I got the following message;
“A new OS version is available for your phone. But installation requires a connection to the PC. Please connect to LG Suite to Install the update.”
I connected the device to PC via USB to LG PC Suite and checked for updates. A new update was available but software details were not provided. Going ahead, I started updating. PC Suite first downloaded the update that was about 750 MB in size. It may take a few minutes to download and then took about 10 minutes to complete the software update.
On restarting the phone, I was face-to-face with beautiful and gorgeous Android Lollipop 5.02 on LG G2 802. To be very true, LG has proved its excellence again in terms of software quality and smoothness. This new upgrade for LG G2 is decorated with some cool features and enhancements in addition to remarkable improvement in performance.
Some of the added new features
Privacy Keeper
With the help of this feature, you can show hide caller info such as caller name or number. It is a feature barely found in Smartphones. I have not found any app that has this feature.
Bright mode for Front camera
A flash icon is added to front camera mode. When you switch on this flash icon, phone boosts screen brightness so much that it works like flash light and you can observe your face clearer even in low light.
Take selfies with Hand Gesture
Now it is easy to take selfies without pressing any button with hand gesture. Just raise and expand your hand until camera detects it and a box appears on the screen. Then make a fist to take a photo.
Added sound effects
Now you can adjust pitch and speed of your music with easy options.
Added new options to guest mode
Now you can change background wallpaper of phone in guest mode. Additionally, you can hide/show notifications and recent apps in guest mode.
