International LG G2 owners are in for a treat over the coming weeks after LG’s official Twitter account for Saudi Arabia confirmed that the device will get its Android 4.4 KitKat update this month. Those in other markets are expected to receive the update around the same time.

A couple of days ago, I wrote that Verizon had posted the official upgrade documents for an upcoming maintenance update for LG’s G2 on its website, and now tons of reports have emerged confirming that Big Red branded handsets have indeed, already started to receive the update.
Earlier today, Verizon posted some official update documents for an upcoming OTA upgrade for the scaled-down variant of LG’s current flagship smartphone of 2013, the G2. The paperwork reveals that the handset is set to receive software version VS98012B which is a minor maintenance update that brings a multitude of bug fixes, stability improvements and speed optimizations.
LG is said to be working on a mini variant of the G2 that could compete with devices like the Galaxy S4 mini and the HTC One mini. It’ll be a smaller and slightly cheaper version of the flagship device with a 4.7-inch display, but sources say it’ll pack a high-end Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM.
