LG G2 getting Android 4.4 KitKat update in Korea by year-end, global rollout in Q1

LG has announced plans for an Android 4.4 KitKat update to its G2 flagship smartphone. The news comes via LG Korean blog, which claims that the Android 4.4 KitKat update for the flagship smartphone is in progress for the Korean market.
Further, the blog confirmed that by the end of this month, the LG G2 will receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update in Korea; however there was no specific time frame for the rollout of Android KitKat for G2's international variants.
LG has been the official manufacturer of Nexus smartphones, the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, for two years in a row, but the South Korean major has been late in announcing the Android 4.4 update rollout plan for its other devices including the LG G2, LG Optimus G Pro, LG Optimus G among others.
The Android 4.4 KitKat iteration brings some new features such as the translucent menu bar, which is located at the bottom of the screen; a new dialler and caller ID feature; a unified Hangouts messaging app; smarter Google Now integration; step counter and detector, and support for screen recording.
