Nexus 4 Powered with Android JellyBean 4.2.2 Ready to be Shipped?
The next batch of Nexus 4 shipment is on the way and each unit will deploy with Android JellyBean 4.2.2, fresh blog reports said.
Citing web reports from Brazil and Malaysia, Unwired View reported that Google has dispatched a minor JellyBean smartphone update, which of course will be first reflected on Nexus 4, having the stock version of the mobile OS.
The hushed Android improvement was not entirely surprising, the blog report said, adding that JellyBean still has some bugs begging for fixes and Google saw it fit to push out the necessary patch via its signature gadget.
Having said that, it is likely that Android 4.2.2 is also programmed to hit on other Nexus devices anytime soon, other blog postings speculated, just so to ensure that JellyBean is as smooth as it can be prior to the entry of Key Lime Pie by mid-2013.
Yet the spotlight right now is on Nexus 4, which Unwired View said is set to test drive the patched JellyBean on initial shipment of some 1000 units, supposedly manufactured by LG in Brazil - the reason why this report came from that side of the world.
But why Malaysia in the picture? A Nexus 4 review from the Asian country was reportedly performed by a local site and it turned out that the handset used was a special cut - it also runs on JellyBean 4.2.2.
More so, deeper check on the gadget yielded information that suggests it was a developer unit prior to its submission for review.
At any rate, the reports seem to hint that Google and LG are finally getting around on the Nexus 4 supply shortage issue and deliveries will likely resume anytime soon, in line with Google's holiday vow that global orders will be fulfilled in weeks' time.
And to compensate for the disappointment, Google thought it wise to deliver the latest Android sweets right out of the box, in the process erasing the disappointments created by the erratic supply system that governed the Nexus 4 worldwide distribution.
Most importantly, we now know that Android 4.2.2 is all-geared for global deployment and the only question is when the millions of Android devices will get a taste of what Google has cooked up.
