LG will continue to offer operating system updates for its mobile phones for the next three years, even after the company stops making phones completely July this year, according to an ad posted on LG website. And this is good news for all those who have recently bought an LG phone or are thinking of looking for a cheap one in the near future.
“LG Electronics (LG) announced today that all LG premium smartphones currently in use will receive up to three iterations of Android operating system updates from the year of purchase,” the company said in a statement issued in early Thursday.
“The upgrade guarantee of three operating systems applies to LG premium phones released in 2019 and later (G series, V series, VELVET, Wing), while some 2020 models, such as LG Stylo and K series, they will receive two operating system updates, “LG explained.
The company, based in South Korea, he noted that these promises will depend on “Google’s distribution schedule, as well as other factors such as device performance and compatibility.”

Interestingly, LG delved into why it continued to produce some phones until mid-summer and apparently has to do with contracts that are already signed.
“LG will continue to manufacture phones during the second quarter to meet contractual obligations with operators and partners. This means that customers can still purchase LG mobile phones that are currently in inventory and support service and security software updates will continue to be provided for a period of time for certain devices, ”LG said.
