Many of you will know that I own a LG G3, so excuse me if I get a little emotional during this post. News is circulating today that the LG G3 may not be updated to Android 5.1 after being updated from Android KitKat to Android 5.0 not long after Google’s official unveiling of Android Lollipop. It seems relatively legitimate news after comments made by LG on the LG Greece Facebook page said that there were no plans to bring Android 5.1 to the LG G3. Bummer.
Of course, this might just mean that LG is skipping Android 5.1 in favour of Android M, the next verison of Android due for release later this year - however given the state of the LG G3 right now on Android 5.0, I’m a bit disappointed that LG isn’t going to try and fix some of the more crippling problems like instability and battery drain that some users are experiencing. It’s especially unusual since the work has already been done for the LG G4 which ships with Android 5.1. All the same, we’ll take this news with a grain of salt just in case LG Greece just meant that devices in that region shouldn’t be expecting an update (sorry, Greece!).
What do you think about the news the LG G3 may not be updated to Android 5.1? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
