I got my new x style but the weired thing is after installing 2 or 3 updates , it's still on android 6.0 but it has may 2016 security patch,
Isn't it supposed to be on 6.0.1 as may 2016 patch was released after 6.0.1??? Anyway to get 6.0.1 without rooting...???
Here's a screenshot
Plug your phone in.
No, 6.0.1 will likely never come to the handset as an official release. There is speculation they aren't wasting their time on 6.0.1 and working on a 7 release for your phone, but that is rumor and hearsay.

Hello Everybody
I was quite happy in LG's security updates and was hoping to receive the Oreo update soon.
As Google itself has promised that most flagship phones including LG would receive the update before end of this year.
But i learnt recently that LG is among the very few phone manufacturers who issues major update first to carrier locked device and update the unlocked devices in its own time.
I have always heard about the other way around with other phone manufacturers.
If that is true, then i would start hating my LG G6.
Oreo?? on lg device monthly security update=SCIFI..
I am still on July security patch and have unlocked DS model. They suck even in providing security patches.
If you want to have fast security updates : LineageOS is your best choice.

You are being too optimistic unless your LG G6 is carrier locked one.

No im with h870 unlocked
Samsung, OnePlus and Nokia are already released beta builds, but LG is maintaining silence so far.
What a joke ?
Does anyone know how was LG dealing with LG g5 updates? How much time did they spend before updating it to latest Android release?? Cheers!

Last year Nougate came, in Europe, in November, so Oreo should be around the corner.

I was looking at the LG G6 unlocked (us997) back when B&H was selling it at a good price. Was considering going with LineageOS but just couldn't get beyond knowing which security patches were really implemented in LineageOS port on this device.
The general issue of security patches on LineageOS was talked about here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6g9imm/the_issue_of_security_in_lineageos/.
For the LG G6 in particular the LineageOS CVE database shows:
https://cve.lineageos.org/android_kernel_lge_msm8996
not a single CVE has been patched. The likely answer is that some number have been patched, but the database hasn't been updated. Even so, unless you can crawl through the code, how can you have any confidence knowing which vulnerabilities have been patch.
Hi,
How offten is some fix/uprade for this phone?
It depends on who you ask.
Since its andriod one device official response is superfast updates and fixes.
Reality not so fast as of right now. Oreo was released and then pulled. So new users can't update to oreo from nougat through update (settings).
Hope that changes in coming months
The official wording is "monthly security updates", so it should be pretty regular. They just tripped over their own feet rolling out Android Oreo for the Mi A1, apparently they were not quite ready yet but released anyways because they had promised to do so. Presumably that will get better over time
You will definitely have one of the most up-to-date Android phones. My OnePlus X was still running Marshmallow with no official update in sight, so Nougat is already a pretty good update. I expect that it will take them another month to properly roll out Oreo. Android P is also promised, so you will very likely get the next major update as well next year.

You can upgrade it when it will be available again, don't ask when, nobody knows.

Hmm I understand now, was upgrade available, but not it isn't.
I just purchased a new S7 (SM-G930A) and it currently has Android 7.0 and Android security patch April1, 2017. The phone is telling me that there is an update. Is Oreo available for the ATT S7 or is this just a security update ?
Thanks

There is no official OREO update for the SM-G930A model just yet... the official release date is TBD. You can download the leaked unofficial version though in a different section of this forum. The latest security patch is most likely what your available update is slated for.

The last official update I'm aware of is BRA1. Jan 1, 2018. You should have a few between what you're at and the latest.
I got a OTA to BRC1 last night.
