Not so many years ago, LG was one of the key players in the smartphone market. Although it could never reach the top, the company managed to make a name for itself with innovative technologies. Especially the flagship models, the G series, were the most important products of the South Korean manufacturer. However, today the situation is different as LG has stopped producing smartphones and the models that were on the market have been forgotten. Nevertheless, the LG V30 lives again through official Lineage OS support. Here are the details…

The LG V30 lives again through official Lineage OS support

For those who may not be familiar with Lineage OS, it is a version of Android that offers a multitude of benefits to older devices. The team behind this impressive software has made it possible for users to enjoy their older phones for longer, providing a visual upgrade and up-to-date security features. The last device to benefit from this was the LG V30.

The LG V30 to receive official support from Lineage OS. Even in 2023, the V30’s hardware is still capable of running Lineage OS smoothly, and its overall design remains modern and visually appealing. Lineage OS support is available for all versions of the LG V30, including unlocked and carrier-specific models.

The software upgrade is listed as LineageOS 20, which is based on the latest Android 13. This is an impressive achievement considering that the official software for the V30 was capped at Android 9 in 2019, with support ending in 2020. For those interested in trying out Lineage OS on their V30 or other older Android phones, the ROM can be downloaded directly from the catalog.

While the process of upgrading the software may require some reading and concentration, it is certainly worth the effort. It is encouraging to see Lineage OS offering continued support to older devices, ensuring that users can get the most out of their devices even after the manufacturer has discontinued support. We can only hope that more devices, including other LG models, receive the same treatment from Lineage OS and other custom ROMs in the future.
