        LG G6 owner, 10 Jul 2020Why LG G6 is not on this list ?!Because it is older than the oldest model that qualified for the update which is the LGv35S. Even poor V30 did not make it.

            I'm sorry but I don't believe them anymore.
            In the past they neglected phones and released whole bunch of PR about some fancy "update center" division of the company dedicated to supporting faster updates. But they were empty words. Nothing happened. LG is still one of the slowest OEM to release OS and security updates and one of the fastest to forget about their older phones.
            As much as I love their DAC and headphone jack, I got burned too much to trust them again.

                          LG makes more promises they will invariably break. Great news and something to get excited about. They're serial liars. How can there still be any suckers left?

                            LG has been making great phones for years the old flip-phone to 8300, Voyager, than the LG EnV and I've had the G3, G5 & now G7 never had an issue with any of them & I've never had one actually burn up or stop working.

                              Also came with June patch and a more iPhone like gesture navigation button.
                              It was a decent update, got it two days ago.

                                This based on my experience with lg .. own v20 Japan variant, v30 korea variant and v40 global variant .. v30 definitely running smoothly and bug free while getting more frequent updates..

                                  PanRT , 09 Jul 2020lg v50s is lg g8x. Lg G8X is only 6gb ram while the V50S is 8gb ram. Unless its the same dumb move that samsung does with global having less ram.
