Android updates are always interesting to watch, as it takes time to reach all devices, and users need to keep an eye out for the announcement for their phone. This time it appears that an LG phone is the one who received the stable Android Pie update.

LG announced the list of devices that will receive the update, as well as a date for each one. The LG G7 ThinQ was listed there, and the stable Android Pie was supposed to come out in 2019. It appears that LG is keeping its word, and it has been reported that the update for the LG G7 ThinQ started rolling out in Korea.

In fact, the Korean users started receiving Pie updates since November, but back then there were beta updates. This time the final stable version is about to become available for everyone.

Android Pie features

Android Pie comes with multiple improvements and new features. The revamped Recent apps switcher is one of the changes, and the new Android version also comes with a new gesture navigation feature. These are two versions that LG has maintained in its Pie version.

If we take a look at the changelog for LG Korea we can see the complete list of changes. For example, the update comes with a battery saving feature and users can now see whether an app runs in the background.

The camera received the Magic Photo function. The update also brings dual app functionality. This means that it is possible to install two versions of the same app so you can use with different accounts.

Android 9 Pie To Come To LG G7 ThinQ And LG V40

Android 9 Pie update for LG G7 and LG V40 is one of the most sought-after updates of the year for the users of the before-mentioned devices. Although the Korean firm LG has not been exceptionally punctual regarding the updates it rolled out, after the release of Android 8 Oreo for some of its handsets, the firm promised to launch following patches at a slightly faster pace.

Android 9 Pie to come to LG G7 ThinQ and LG V40

Now, LG G7 ThinQ and LG V40 would be the first to benefit from the Android 9 Pie update. These models are two of the Korean company’s flagships, so it’s not surprising that these are the ones chosen for the deployment of the new upgrade.

The first to receive the expected Android 9 Pie update will be the LG G7 ThinQ. The company has launched a public beta program in Korea which commenced yesterday and is open to any LG G7 ThinQ user who wants to enter into the program, regardless of the mobile phone operator they work with.

Currently, LG runs a beta program to test the Android 9 Pie update for LG G7 and LG V40

With this beta program, LG wants to detect and solve the bugs and errors that may exist in the Android 9 Pie update for LG G7 before the upgrade rolls out to a broader public. Samsung has done the same with the upgrade to Android 9 Pie for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

At the moment, the company did not disclose when the Android 9 Pie update for LG G7 ThinQ and LG V40 would come out, depending on how long the beta program will last and what bugs the testers will find. Thus, it can be expected that Android 9 Pie for LG G7 and LG V40 would start landing on these smartphones between late December and early January.
