Android Pie is already here and while many LG G5 users wouldn’t mind an update to the latest and greatest from Google, there won’t be such an update for this handset. This is because Oreo will be the second and last major OS upgrade and thereafter, only regular security updates will be made available.

On the brighter side, Project Treble promises to bring along plenty of Android Pie custom ROMs and we hope that the LG G5 will be among the beneficiaries. Whether the upcoming LineageOS 16 will have room for the G5 is still unknown, but we hope it does.

LG G5 came to be in early 2016 and back then, Android Marshmallow was the order of the day. Later the same year, Android 7.0 Nougat was rolled out to the device, with some units, mostly carrier variants, having to wait until Q1 2017.

Now, despite the long wait, the LG G5 finally started getting Android Oreo update in Korea on the final day of August 2018. The update started rolling out to carrier variants in the U.S. beginning with Verizon (September 21, 2018) and T-Mobile (September 25, 2018).
