Android 4.2.2 shipping on Nexus 4 in Brazil and Malaysia?!
Google and LG collaboration, Nexus 4, is apparently now shipping with Android 4.2.2 pre-installed, according to sites in Brazil and Malaysia. As you can from the picture above, Android 4.2.2 is showing up in the about screen, but we all know that it’s easy to fake. It’s bit strange though that both sites from different countries are reporting this almost in same time, so it might just be true. It’s still unknown what Android 4.2.2 brings, and it might just bring bug fixes, but as we all know Android 4.2+ has loads of bugs, bug fixer update would be welcomed open arms. Google hasn’t said a word, and all we can do now is wait and hope that the update arrives sooner rather than later.
