LG has left the smartphone industry in the year 2021, but the company promised to lay out three-year plan to continue supporting customers with new updates for specific models. But it almost one year has passed that the company has promised to support the customers. Now its the time the company is finally shutting their smartphone segment down, i mean they already have stopped their production, this is they are stopping their smartphone update server on June 30.
After the month of June the LG smartphones will no longer allow to install any Android OS updates. So that means you have to use the last version you download before the server has shut down by the company. If you downloaded before the servers are discontinued you will able to update the Android version to only the 13th or the 14th and can download anything regarding the privacy or security.
LG Decides to End Their Support, Still Kept Their Phone
A famous mobile analyst Avi Greengart, claims “companies like Samsung are promising to update both the OS and security for up to eight years, which means that will get new features long into the future”.
Aspert Greengart “ vanishingly small number of users” will be affected by the decision. ‘Many modern phones have outpaced the technology in older LG models,’ says Greengart.
What Is Another Option that Buyers Can Opt Out of?
As per Greengart, the older customers of this company's phones will look for the replacement that offers “secure face ID or fingerprint readers on the side power button” and “large fold phones from Samsung and Google in the US, along with Oppo and Honor in markets where those are sold".
What else is shutting down?
The company is also shutting down the Bridge PC app by LG. it is a DeX like software which allow you to manage your phone’s videos, images and contacts on a desktop. Moreover the app helps to create data backups and install software updates in the mobiles. This software is also shutting down on 30th of June.
