South Korean tech giant LG this week announced that it will continue to provide operating system updates to users of its premium Android smartphones, for up to three years.
On Thursday, the company announced that it will continue to provide platform updates for all premium LG smartphones that are currently in use.
The company says, "Will receive up to three iterations of Android operating system updates from the year of purchase."
With Google releasing new Android OS versions once a year, LG smartphones released in 2021 should receive up to three years of updates.
"The three OS update guarantee applies to LG premium phones released in 2019 and later while certain 2020 models such as LG Stylo and K series will receive two OS updates," LG announced.
Moving forward users of certain LG smartphones might no longer receive such patches as often as expected, meaning that their devices might remain exposed to new attacks.
