As a lousy year as LG, failing to resuscitate its long-ailing mobile company with highly experimental devices like the Wing and an instantly forgettable conventional flagship, there’s no denying that in 2020 the company got at least one thing right.
Released with Android 10 out of the box, of course, both domestically and internationally, the LG Velvet has started receiving a massive collection of over-the-air Android 11 goodies that hit more than 2 gigs off the scale earlier this week. Came.
While we can’t share a changelog with you just yet, that download size seems to indicate that this particular update is getting pretty heavy on its own UI optimizations and tweaks, unlike, say, the recently delivered OTA promotions for various high enders from Sony and a mid-ranger, each weighing less than 1 GB.
That could explain why It took LG so much time to update arguably its most interesting phone of 2020, although it’s definitely worth highlighting that all those deliveries of Samsung One UI 3.0 and 3.1 from the past few weeks were well over 2GB of their own users.
Unfortunately, there is also no reason to expect LG to spread Android 11’s love of the beautiful and fairly powerful Velvet 5G to the US and other Western markets anytime soon, and the same is true of the company’s updates for devices such as the V60 ThinQ 5G, Wing 5G, K92 5G or Stylo 6. Of course, all of these phones will eventually be promoted to the latest OS version around the world, but it’s essentially impossible to know when that might happen.
