New LG Optimus One Tastes With Gingerbread in Romania

The Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system is now available for yet another popular mobile phone out there, namely the LG Optimus One, which has just started receiving it in Romania, if some of the latest reports on the matter are to be believed.

The handset was launched on the market last year with Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system on board as an affordable smartphone, and was said at one point to have been left out of the Gingerbread train.

However, its maker reconsidered the move and several months ago promised a software update to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system flavor, which, apparently has already started to roll-out on devices.

LG did not make an official announcement on the matter until now, but users started to post on the company's official Facebook page various details on the new update.

The Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for LG's Optimus One has been promised about half a year ago, and it was about time that the deployments kicked off.

The platform version arriving on Optimus One devices out there is the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread iteration, it seems.

Various Romanian owners of this mobile phone are reporting that they have already received the new software, and reports on the availability of this OS flavor for Russian users also emerged.

The V20G version of Optimus One started receiving the new OS flavor yesterday, and handsets in more countries should start receiving it in the near future as well.

The new OS flavor should bring all of the improvements that the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread platform was announced with, along with some updates specific to Optimus One.

Among the other enhancements that Gingerbread brings forth, we can count a better proximity sensor, though it seems that the screen remains off even after ending the call.

Hopefully, it won't be long before LG decides to make the new OS version available for users in more countries, so stay tuned to learn the news.
