LG surprised the world last year when it announced its exit from the smartphone business. Well, we can gauge that it wasn’t a surprising end for a company whose mobile business had been doing poorly for years. However, other companies are still around in a similar situation as HTC. But honestly, what more can HTC do? LG wasn’t just a smartphone maker, it was a giant of electronics and one of the world’s largest display suppliers. Therefore, the company has decided to give up its lost business to focus on bringing in revenue. Despite withdrawing from the smartphone market, LG is still offering software support for eligible devices. It clearly covers some of the company’s last releases in the smartphone market. Some devices like the LG Velvet have already received Android 12, and now it’s time for the LG V60 ThinQ to get the same treatment.
According to new reports, the LG V60 ThinQ is getting the Android 12 update. However, it’s only reaching certain units in the United States that are sold by T-Mobile. Anyway, this is a clear indication that the update is ready and may come for more variants in the next few weeks. Anyway, it’s still strange to see the LG V60 ThinQ getting the update. After all, the smartphone was not on any of LG’s listings suggesting which devices will get Android 12 and Android 13. Hence, the update comes as a nice surprise to those still rocking the LG V60 ThinQ.
The LG V12 ThinQ Update to Android 60 Is Stunning
Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly what the Android 12 skin looks like on the LG V60 ThinQ. The changelog for the update is short and vague. Anyway, we can expect goodies introduced with Android 12 such as Monet Engine, new permission controls, active microphone icon in status bar and more. Obviously, LG’s skin could be applied on top of the smartphone. It is worth noting that this update comes with the March 2022 security patch level. Not the most recent patch, but still better than having an older update patch. After all, LG is not present in the smartphone market, and still keeps on working on updating the development.
If you have the T-Mobile version of the LG V60 ThinQ, the update is rolling out over the air. This is an update of 1.17 GB so make sure to download it with Wi-Fi to avoid unwanted data loss. In the next few days, we may see LG expanding the update to more units.
