I am less than enthused with LG's patch frequency. My V35 hasn't seen a single patch since March - and there have been plenty of critical Android security patches since then. E.g.
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/05/new-android-flaw-could-let-malicious-apps-hijack-trusted-apps-icons/

Four months, no security patches.

And these phones should receive THREE years of security patches, minimum.

                LG have really bad form with phone support, marketing and quality control. Just trying to get a hold of the LG V60 has been an effort in futility. The people running this company need a serious kick up the arse - they're hopeless.
                How do you contact the designers, marketing and product development people to let them know how bad they are? Its like a company run by a mob of zombies!

                  Chaimdb, 10 Jul 2020I have a V30 for over a year now, but for some reason I can... moreYou can probably manually update. I have the V30S and have ONLY been able to update manually directly from the LG website. This is the link for the V30S, there may be a different one for the V30.

                    Good thing that all people that read news like these are like 0.0000000001% of all phone costumers

                        Never again LG. The fingerprint sensor and SIM card tray in my G6 both broke due to poor design. A flagship phone costing over $500 shouldn't have these kind of problems from normal use. It was my first and last LG product.

                          Good morning .
                          Our Team 22 People have been using LG G8X for the last 6 months in India.
                          But we regret now because LG is not fast at all in updating their flagships with latest android version.   We are Technology related professionals working in an IT Company.
                          Why LG is not updating it's LG G8X with Android 10  ???
                          All other Companies are updating their flagships with Android 11.
                          LG G8X is still trailing behind with Android 10.
                          The following is the latest news that appeared in gsmarena  that LG is updating their older flagships with VELVET SOFTWARE.  Please find the link below.
                          LG G8X is left out even in that. Why LG  ?
                          If so , We will never use LG Flagships .

I realized that I was getting so much more from Android, without the price tag. Have fun paying apple for all the stuff you get for free on Android devices!

                                LG updates roll out too slow. This v50 will more then likely be my last phone.
