LG is about to kick its currently slow, worldwide [Optimus G](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/lg-optimus-g-review-a-quad-core-powerhouse-with-nexus-aspiratio/) deployment into high gear. Right in time for [Mobile World Congress](http://www.engadget.com/tag/mwc2013/), the company has confirmed that its late 2012 flagship is about to reach Europe. Sweden gets first crack at the Optimus G before February is over, while at least France, Germany and Italy are next in line. Every European version will ship with the [Jelly Bean update](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/13/refresh-roundup/) LG promised for new launches back in late January. It adds more than just obvious Android 4.1 features like [Google Now](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GoogleNow/) and rich notifications: there's a wider variety of [QSlide](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/20/lg-tells-the-story-behind-qslide-multitasking-wont-be-mad-if-y/)-friendly apps, better status bar controls and small perks like Privacy Keeper for calls and Safety Care live support. We're still waiting for Jelly Bean to hit the US, but Europeans (and envious Americans) can see what they'll get by watching the video after the break.
