LG promises faster software updates for its smartphones with new Software Upgrade Center


LG today announced that it has opened new Software Upgrade Center in South Korea, the first such facility aimed at providing customers worldwide with faster, timelier, smartphone operating system and software updates. It is located in LG’s new research and development campus in Magok-dong, western Seoul.

The new center will not only be charged with developing and delivering regular OS updates for LG smartphones, but will also be responsible for ensuring a consistent user experience on LG devices by continuously testing the stability and compatibility between hardware and software after updates, said LG.

The center will enable LG to roll out OS updates faster in countries where LG smartphones are available to ensure that customers around the world receive the same level of quality service.

LG also said that it will roll out Android Oreo update for the LG G6 later this month starting in Korea, followed by other key markets. Hope LG concentrates on its mid-range smartphones as well since most of their mid-range lineup are stuck without any updates or security patches.

Connecting on the new center and software updates, Jo Seong-jin, CEO of LG Electronics, said:

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.
