Despite quitting phones, LG reassures customers it'll continue to deliver Android OS updates
LG has clarified its position on the software support to its existing smartphones. It will provide up to 3 OS updates to its premium phones.
After months of rumors, finally, the inevitable happened as LG officially declared itself out of the smartphone market for once and for all. While the smartphone community was busy mourning the loss of a key innovator, many existing LG phone owners were worried about what would happen to their smartphones. LG promised to provide service support and software updates for customers of existing mobile products for a period of time — and even hinted at the Android 12 update. Still, no exact details were shared at the time, like which devices will be eligible to receive the extended software support and for how long. To end the guessing game and reassure the existing customers, the company has now issued a much-needed clarification on its plans to support its smartphone portfolio.
The LG K92 launches in the U.S. as a cheap 5G phone for $359
The LG K92 is LG's first ultra-affordable 5G smartphone in the U.S. It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G SoC and is on 3 carriers.
LG has joined the gold rush of affordable 5G phones with the LG K92 5G, which the Korean brand says is “designed to bring the benefits of 5G to a larger audience.” With a form of 5G now active in most major U.S. cities, the next stage will be persuading buyers to adopt it, which is where phones like the new K92 come in.
