LG promises cell phone update: how it will work 44k1l
The promise explicitly cites the G series, V series, LG Velvet and Lg wing like cell phones that will have three OS updates. Already some models launched in 2020, such as the K series — which has the models K52, K62 e K62 + — will only have two updates. However, it is important to point out that the updates will depend on the Google distribution program and on the compatibility of the cell phone's hardware with future versions of Android. As for security updates, without going into too much detail, LG says that many models will continue to receive them for a period of time.
With this information, we can already speculate on the updates of some cell phones, if Google maintains the annual updates of the Android. O LG Velvet, for example, is in the process of receiving its update to the Android 11, already counting as one of the 3 updates that LG promised, so we can expect it to also the Android 12 and to an eventual Android 13. The K series should only arrive in the Android 12, since it comes from the factory with Android 10 and only has two updates promised.
LG also announced that the manufacture of phones will continue until the second quarter of 2020, to fulfill commercial agreements and contracts, making the devices still in stock for a long time.
