GDR2!!! When It's going to be released???

[Windows Central Question]

Hi Guys does anybody know when the Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 update will be released!!!???

No one here knows the answer to that question.

But I would expect it sometime this year. Maybe sometime soon. Maybe...

Definitely before windows 10 for phones

Well. It will not be released for older phones. Older phones will directly get W10.
GDR2 will be available for Lumia 640/640xl/430 only.

Where did you even hear that?

I expect it will be in Q2 of this year, maybe as a way to 'prep' phones for the official W10 update. If it was a very minor update (like what we have heard so far), it would be pointless to waste resources pushing it out when they could just merge the changes into W10. So like I said, it's probably going to be a prerequisite to the W10 update.

/speculation
