LG doomed its smartphone business last year and is currently focusing on other tech segments in the market. However, the company seems to still offer OS upgrades to some of its old smartphones. The LG Velvet that was released back in 2020 is now getting the latest Android 12 OS update.
It is worth noting that the LG Velvet was originally launched with the Android 10 OS out of the box. Now that it is getting the latest Android 12 OS, it seems to bring a lot of new features to the device. Reportedly, the models in Korea are getting the new update, and the update appears to be for the Velvet 5G.
If you are an LG Velvet owner, you should have received the update notification. If not, you can update it by heading to Settings > Software update.
The Velvet smartphone was one of LG’s premium phones in the market. The smartphone received the Android 11 update last year in February, and the Android 12 update has timely appeared on the device. It appears that LG, despite quitting the phone line, has maintained its software update promise, at least for the premium phones like Velvets in the home market.
However, this could be the last update for the LG Velvet, since it’s rare to see any LG phone getting a third OS update, especially now.
