LG V10 customers have something to cheer about this evening as the handset is now getting the latest Android 7.0 Nougat update in the company’s home country.
There’s no word about the availability date for the new operating system in the country, but it should be released for other regions in the coming weeks.
What’s New in Android 7.0 Nougat?
The update bumps the software to version v30 and also brings LG’s latest UX 5.0+ with it. Android 7.0 Nougat introduces a variety of new features and improvements designed to enhance the user experience. Some of the key features include:
– Multi-window support: Users can now run two apps side by side, making multitasking more efficient.
– Enhanced notifications: The update brings bundled notifications and quick reply functionality, allowing users to respond to messages directly from the notification shade.
– Improved battery life: With the introduction of Doze on the Go, the battery-saving feature now works even when the device is in motion.
– Data Saver: This feature helps users manage their data usage by restricting background data for certain apps.
– Performance improvements: Nougat includes optimizations for better performance and smoother operation.
Availability and Installation
Unfortunately, the latest update is only available for the carrier-branded versions in the country with model numbers F600L, F600K, and F600S, and is only available through the LG Bridge software. This means that users will need to connect their devices to a computer and use the LG Bridge application to download and install the update.
For those who prefer a more straightforward approach, the stock version of the operating system can also be downloaded from the company’s website. This option allows users to manually install the update without waiting for the over-the-air (OTA) release. However, it’s important to note that this process may be more complex and could void the warranty if not done correctly.
We’re hoping the Korean company will also commence the over-the-air update for the unlocked version as well. OTA updates are generally more convenient as they can be downloaded and installed directly on the device without the need for a computer.
Global Rollout and Future Updates
We’ll update you as soon as we get any information about the roll out of the new operating system for other regions. Stay tuned. The global rollout of Android updates can sometimes be a slow process, as it often depends on carrier testing and approval. However, LG has a history of supporting its devices with timely updates, so V10 users around the world can remain hopeful.
In addition to the Nougat update, LG V10 users can look forward to potential future updates that may bring further enhancements and security patches. Keeping the device updated is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and security.
The arrival of Android 7.0 Nougat for the LG V10 is a significant update that brings a host of new features and improvements. While the update is currently limited to carrier-branded versions in South Korea, it is expected to reach other regions soon. Users should keep an eye out for announcements from LG regarding the availability of the update in their area.
