LG was one of the quickest manufcaturers to update its flagship at the time, the LG G3, to Android 5.0Â after its release, however since then, there’s been no hide nor hair of any update to the latest version, Android 5.1. Naturally, LG’s latest flagship, the LG G4, ships with Android 5.1, so LG’s other customers have been left in the dark wondering when it will be their turn. Which excited me greatly when I saw a 110MB software update being uploaded to my LG G3 yesterday, only to be let down when I realized it was only a minor update to the LG G3, citing improvements in “phone usability and functionality”.
This update increments the software version from V20f to V20i, but unfortunately the Android version has not changed from Android 5.0. The only difference that I have seen in this latest version is that a new launcher function has been added to allow you to add homescreen windows on the fly (by swiping inwards, a la some custom launchers) – if you’ve also got this update and can see any differences, feel free to drop us a line in the comments below. And the wait for Android 5.1 continues…
What do you think about this minor update to the LG G3? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
