Time to claim the code for my G8S just in case then.
LG promised to update the G8S up to android 12, but considering my G8S still doesn't even have 11, I at least can go the custom ROM way at certain point (custom ROM support on the G8S is near non existent)

1. LG fans buy the top end flagship V series before, solely for its DACs. They definitely do not care about OS/software updates.
2. Unless if you're relatively new to Android, ROM flashing and LG in particular, then you'd already know there's close to no diff even when/if an LG phone's bootloader is unlocked or not. Most you could do is slap a recovery in and root but not much else. No "replacement ROMs" etc. Compared to the rest of droid brands, 3rd dev support for LG is just plain bad and always has been for like forever. EXCEPT for that last Nexus 4 mako.
That AND the fact that LG has already announced that they're shutting down their smartphone biz EIGHT MONTHS AGO but people are still dumb enough and bought some K and W phones afterwards...

Johedt, 06 Dec 2021What does ANDROID have to do with LG's policy? LolBecause that's a typical Android thing, many brands does that.
There shouldn't be a NEED to unlock the bootloader in the first place.

[deleted post]Where did I EVER say it was bad COMPARED to iOS?
I was talking in general, as an OS, and in fact comparing it with computer OS, such as Linux which it is build upon.
