LG Readies Itself For Nougat Rollout
LG Electronics, already the first vendor to release a handset running on Google’s Nougat OS, is gearing up to upgrade users of its G5 smartphone to the new version of Android.
The company say this move makes them the first company after Google to offer Nougat as an upgrade to an existing smartphone running Android Marshmallow.
LG G5 users in Korea will be the first to receive the update, with customers in America, Asia and other markets to follow.
More information will become available locally in the weeks ahead.
“At LG, we know our customers want the best, most up-to-date mobile experience,” said Kim Hyung-jung, senior vice president and head of LG Mobile’s research and development.
“Getting software updates to our users faster than the competition is our way of demonstrating that LG is committed to supporting our products and customers to ensure they have a positive ownership experience.”
