LG Pledges to Provide Phone Owners With 3 More Annual Software Updates
Here's what that means for consumers who purchased models from the soon-to-be-discontinued mobile brand
After announcing on Tuesday that it’s pulling the plug on its struggling smartphone business, LG revealed today that it will provide three more annual Android operating system updates to many consumers who own existing phone models.
The pledge applies to LG premium smartphones released in 2019 and later—specifically the G Series, V Series, Velvet, and Wing models. Other lower-priced 2020 models will receive two operating system updates.
In addition, LG says security updates and technical support will be available “for a period of time for certain devices.”
The South Korean tech giant, which says it will shutter its mobile business by the end of July, plans to keep producing phones for the next few months to meet contractual obligations with wireless carriers and other partners. And the phones will continue to be available for sale.
