Verizon’s LG G Pad 8.3 finally gets Android 4.4 KitKat


Slowly but surely, a lot of mid-range Android devices are getting the crucial v4.4 KitKat update. Crucial, because the KitKat update on these mid-range devices is much more required than by the higher-end ones, which don’t gain as much from the update.

The LG G Pad 8.3 Android tablet received the update earlier today. Although it took quite a long time coming, it is finally here, giving users of the device some much needed respite. Besides the usual bug-fixes, the v4.4 KitKat update brings a few feature enhancements as well.

Among these, the best known and perhaps the most awaited one is the inclusion of the LG Knock Code feature, which allows users to unlock their device in a variety of different ways (86,367 different ways, according to LG).

As with any other Android update, the G Pad 8.3 update too be rolled out in phases to avoid server overload. So, if you haven’t gotten an update notification yet, don’t lose patience!
