While the Android Preview program is now available to the LG G7 ThinQ users for testing the Android Pie update, it is currently limited to those in Korea only. To join the program, you’ll need to launch the “Quick Help” application and then click on the “LG OS Preview Guide” banner. Once done, you’ll then receive the Android 9 Pie beta update shortly.

The company has also opened a bulletin board where the participants can report the bugs or any future suggestions. LG says that it will try to incorporate those opinions into the official stable OS update. The Android Preview program suggests that the stable Android Pie update is not far away.
