    Software updates also corrects issues, bugs, and in some cases even improves performance of the phones. Of course, it can be also the other way around.
    Either way software updates are important (not just for phones, but for every device out there that uses software).
    The fact that small percentage of people like you exists, that uses Android 6 phone or Windows XP laptop, that doesn't mean is also correct or wise.

      LG makes great phones, I have been a customer for over 6 years. The only problem with LG is that their marketing sucks. If LG ramped up their marketing to either the same level or exceeding the marketing of Samsung or Huawei, they would increase their sales in quite a number. LG phones are great in quality and has become a premium device over the years. As from the LG V40 and the LG Wing LG's devices does not stand back from any other manufacturer. I hope to see LG smartphones in many years to come!!

                    feel free to check : https://imgur.com/a/3k4VE86

                    IMX351 even if it old it still gold , the sensor allows for a lot of modification and capabilities even the newer ones couldn't offer the same ,just check "mcpro24fps" and you'll get what I'm saying .
                    or simply put an LG phones(V30,G7...V50) with Gcam against any phone's newer sensors.

I was so shocked and asked if I could check it.. it worked beautifully and he said it still have him 3 hrs of talktime.. LG makes the most solid phones.. I have been with lg since the V20, and have consistently only bought LG in India for all my family members

                        Soon we will only have Apple and Samsung. Maybe Xiaomi too. Others are useless.

                                Their biggest problem is they are pretty shy of marketing atleast in India. I have never seen a LG phone ad since the LG G3. A common guy haven't even heard of LG's phone model so how they even gonna think of buying one.

                                  Upgrading from android 6 to android 10 using LG, I have never seen any real new feature introduced by the system update. Only thing noticible is dark theme which LG is already had, and desktop mode that not quite useful.
                                  TBO I see no advantage of getting yours' favourite "puuuuuuuure android" installed on any phone.

                                        LG produces better quality equipment. Instead of stopping mobiles they should fire their sales team for poor marketing. Hardly people know LG phones here in the largest mkt in the world.
