The LG Optimus 4X HD Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is arriving for European users.
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update includes several new features such as Project Butter, Google Now and a constant frame rate via Vertical Sync. Project Butter will allow for smoother performance overall and Google Now is a feature whereby the phone provides information like the weather, traffic expectations and train arrivals.
Currently the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is for LG Optimus 4X HD smartphones that are unlocked and SIM-free; however it should be coming to the operator-branded LG Optimus 4X HD sometime soon.
The update won't be available over the air and users will need a PC for installation. It will also require the LG Update tool, which can be found here.
