LG to offer up to 3 years of Android OS updates to select phones

LG guarantees three years of Android updates for its existing premium smartphones and two years of updates for some of 2020’s mid-range devices.

LG recently announced the closure of the smartphone business by July 31 this year, which led to several questions about LG’s existing smartphone users. To which LG has an answer now, the South Korean giant has guaranteed three years of software updates for its premium smartphone line. While some other midrange devices will receive two years updates, LG confirmed in a blog post. Three years of Android OS updates apply to the G and V series of smartphones, including LG V50, LG G8 series, LG V60, the trio of LG Velvets, and LG Wing. Whereas two years of OS updates are confirmed for the LG Stylo 6, LG K61, LG K51S and LG K41S. LG earlier this week informed that it is quitting the smartphone business. The brand said that it would wind down its entire mobile Phone business by July 31, but its inventory of existing smartphones will be on sale. This also means that we could see some LG phones selling at much lower pricing.
