LG Promises Speedy and Timely Updates With Their Global Software Upgrade Center

When the world is leaning toward speedy software updates for its devices, LG is still lagging behind. But, today LG opened a global Software Upgrade Center in South Korea. This is LG’s first such facility that is focused on providing LG smartphone owners to roll out software updates on a timely and speedy manner.




LG says that apart from developing and rolling out software updates for its devices in a timely manner, the upgrade center will also be responsible to ensure a consistent user experience and stability on its devices.

"Aligning after-sales support with customers’ needs is a top priority at LG. Stable and consistent upgrades will demonstrate to our customers that LG smartphones have long and reliable lifespans."-Mr. Jo Seong-jin, CEO, LG Electronics

The first results of this software upgrade center will be the Oreo update for the LG G6 which will start rolling out later this month in Korea followed by other markets.

LG has traditionally been pretty slow in updating its devices to newer versions of Android. The company hardly ever rolls out monthly security updates for its devices as well, and it can take the company quite a few months to roll out a software update to fix some bugs. Thus, it remains to be seen how this upgrade center from LG will help speed things up in this regard. 

Will LG be able to pull this off?
