While we aren’t seeing many much more smartphones from LG, the brand still rolls out updates to strengthen the already existing devices. By that we mean, the brand is already rolling out the LG G8X ThinQ Android 12 update, quite interesting.
Further details of the LG G8X ThinQ Android 12 update
The LG G8X ThinQ Android 12 update is rolling out in India and some European countries for the global variant with the model LM-G850EMW. Furthermore, the LG G8X ThinQ Android 12 update takes software version V40a.
Although we see that the changelog of the LG G8X ThinQ Android 12 update isn’t that huge, we should expect all the goodies from Android 12. We also notice that the update bumps the security patch level to June 2022. The update packs a storage space of 5GB and will need a speedy network to obtain with the other option of waiting for the OTA update.
The rollout is a gradual process and the update will reach other G8X models in a short time hopefully. While we’re quite glad that the LG G8X ThinQ Android 12 update has landed, you should not be expecting more OS upgrades since the smartphone has received 3 since it was released with Android 9 Pie.
Together with the Android 12 update, LG has also made available “corresponding kernel sources on its code repository”. Specifically an interest for the modding community, developers will be able to eliminate more bugs and as such provide a better”aftermarket development scene for the device”. The aftermath of the whole process has to be a preference for those who don’t go with stock ROM.
