This is going to be my last LG phone, their software security updates are a disgrace. I have a UK SIM free V30 and still on January 2019 Security patch. This is their flagship phone that is just turned two years old, for 8 months of that, they think it is acceptable to provide no security updates. I can live with quarterly updates, but 8 months and no security updates for a flagship phone is a disgrace.

The phone itself is good, battery life is good, but security is important for me due to the amount of sensitive data on my phone.

I have had three LG phones, and now I will sell this and never touch LG phones again. Them saying they want to perfect their updates before they release them is a joke. I see they are releasing Pie in other countries after a new version of Android has been released. If they can’t get their act together with updates, they might as well stop selling phones.

    Bell Canada finally released the update for this model - New(er) Android 9
    Yay
    Just as 10 comes out

          I live in India, hence using the Indian version. After updating the latest UI over LG Bridge and using for few days here are my thoughts:

          a) The LG UI skin on Android Pie seems more modern & refreshing.
          b) Now we have gesture controls along with navigation keys. The gesture control is very intuitive and I got used to it in a minute.
          c) The UI now feels more fluid during navigation.
          d) More secure phone lock down options are now introduced.
          e) Screenshot thumbnails are now present where when a screenshot is taken, its preview is displayed in the bottom right of the screen in a thumbnail.
          f) For dual SIM V30's, we now have dual app support.
          g) Android Pie goodness with Digital Wellbeing & parental controls.

          The only aspect I don't like about LG UI is the stark omission of a dark mode/ dark theme.

                  Since this update contains android version upgrade from Oreo to Pie, I will perform Factory Reset.

                    Details about the update:
                    a) New software release date: 16/09/2019
                    b) Size : 3.11GB

                    Not much details are shown in LG Bridge about the enhancements except:
                    - Android OS Upgrade
                    - Phone usability and functionality has been further improved.

                    Will update in details after the update.

                      I updated my Indian Ver via LG Bridge.
                      Build is good and worth upgrading to Pie. Not finding any battery drain, performance is good too. I didn't do clean install.

                                        V30 hardware is still competitive today. US carriers like Verizon are already deploying Pie update. This is a good phone for daily driver material.
