I wonder what community thinks about this :laugh:.
Imagine that LG keeps promising about Oreo but G6 never gets it (as they did to G4).
Only some security updates and that's all.
What'd you do?

If it will happen, in autumn I will come back to xiaomi.
I didn't buy it for Oreo and it works as I expected so I would not do anything.
G6 got Oreo. In one way or another. Mine is on 8.1.
as Dejan Kruljac said, one way or another we will get 8-8.1 or P
Root will help with...

I'll continue my life without buying LG, and i'll advise the same to all i know =D
My G6 will continue to live until it break obviously, and Android update won't force me to spend more money.

Bought this LG flagship phone expecting minimum 2 OS upgrades. If they can't even provide one upgrade then I would never buy the LG products and also doesn't allow anybody to buy whom i can influence. This is for sure. What is more irritating from LG side is there is no schedules or timelines for the updates. Their PR team is the worst i have ever seen in this regard. My Indian variant can't be bootloader unlockable hence no custom ROMs either.. :crying:
Don't really care. Would like it if it was stable and doesn't slow down the device, but not really holding my breath.
Just hope that the hardware holds up and there are no failures like G4
It seems that my g6 is much smoother than it was when i bought it so they achieved it by only updating thier OS apps. Anyway lack of oreo makes this phone looks like some budget device and so the price is. I cannot imagine anger of people who paid regular price expecting flagship features. If I am going to buy new device it will be 2021 so who knows maybe lge phone brach will be non existence by this time? XD

I didn't say LG hasn't/won't got Oreo. I said that "what if"
If they stiff us with Oreo I'll cross LG off my list for future phones.
Probably root and custom rom..

A colleague at work has the LG G3. I think it's a beautiful looking device with great specs.
I'm not very fond of this whole Knox business and possible implications with warranty. So I might think about getting the next iteration (LG G4) for my next phone.
Of course, tomorrows announcement of the Note 4 might change that, we'll see.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the LG G3 compared to the Note 3?
And that was worthy making a thread on xda ? :sly:

I should have my G3 by next week, but I am not sure I will give up the Note 3 but I am interested in giving the device a try. In my region only the Exynos based devices are available so this places a limit on the availability of ROMs such as Cyanogenmod that I really would like to run. This being said the LG is also not necessarily a greener field Lg loves their locked boot loaders this can also interfere with loading custom ROMs. If you concerned about tripping Knox most things that would do that would also void your LG warranty I think.
Android Central has a great article looking at their G3 after two months and it may have some insights for you to help make up your mind.
anyone know When is Android 7.1.1 Nougat coming to priv?
no
I don't think that the Priv will ever get Nougat. I am starting to accept it.
I have interest in this topic as well.

and yesterday just received the android security update !!!
Crackberry confirming no nougat. Very disappointing. And the keyone is a downgrade overall, so I guess it's time to go back to no keyboard because yet again no one makes them.

Sadly, no. It's nearly impossible to unlock bootloader on modern phones. I hope Google sees this phone and makes a pixel with a keyboard lol. Won't happen but one can dream!
So, Blackberry still wants to sell phones after treating "flagship" phone customers like this? I see the reason for not wanting to invest in a phone that few people use, but this hurts their reputation with existing customers who may want to upgrade.
We all Motorola User Wants Full Power of Our Devices that we have.
With 64 Bit OS We Can Use App & Mods Like Google Camera HDR+ Mode wich is Best Camera mode available to Android devices.
I have bought Moto G5 Plus this Year but Still have 32bit OS and in other place Redmi Note 3 has 64bit OS and it is Released 2 Years Ago.
Please Guy Request Motorola to Roll out new OS Updates in 64 Bit Architecture. ?

Have we done it before? I joined this month so I have no clue that it has been tried already
That is not going to happen, it's not that easy and remember, it's not Motorola anymore, it's lenovo.
If they decide to do it, that would be a mess at the time to get the update. I am pretty sure we needed to make a full wipe. It wouldn't be just an update, it would be installing a new system from scratch and that's not something a lot of people would like to do, including myself.
I haven't had any problem with the device running a 32bit system and I am pretty sure I won't.
I would like to get Google Cam just for HDR+ but it's not a big deal and I can live without it.
We have an amazing dev team for the device so there is nothing we are missing for having a 32bit system.

Yes... There have been several threads here since this device first released whining about it being 32-bit, wanting to pressure Lenovo about making a 64-bit version, comparing the difference between the 32/64 bit world's, etc.
Simple answer, it's 32-bit... It's going to stay to that way, live with it.

Should i get the g5p or wait for the g6p? My curremt phone is pretty ****ty but i dont mind waiting a little longer if its worth it
Wait for G6... Moto g5 hasn't got oreo yet, and the G6 will probably get android 9
Support to the companion of above, I believe that it will come with Oreo of factory, and you will have access to Android P, without mentioning also a better processor, better camera, etc.
Thanks guys, have you got any idea about when its coming out?

Honestly, if the G5+ is what you want go ahead and grab it... If you look at the changes in the G line from the original until current, each generation has pretty massive changes, and not always for the better. One was good, G2 was bad, G3 (2015) was amazing, the G4 not so much, the G5/G5S is fantastic, the G6... well, we don't know but the track record is questionable here.

G6 is going to suck, i guarantee.. and not everyone like 18:9 screens
Well you can get g5 plus on a discount and its a year old model while new one will be bit costly. The g5 plus got a great camera not sure how it will turn out in g6

LG stated that they will roll out the update for G6 after the V30, so that's why we might be close.
Yes at the end of june after LG V30 ?
when LG G6 will receive Oreo, other brands will receive Android P

That means pretty nothing for most of the users because, v30 in korea has been updated in DECEMBER 2017 , and g6 in korea still not officially updated...
What kind of ore? Is it iron ore? Maybe it's pitchblende.

:cyclops::good: Good Job LG :silly:
In the Past, i owned 2 other LG Phones, a LG KM900 Arena (got super disappointed by unbelieveable Software Bugs) and a Google Nexus 4 (Battery was too small and got broken by being stupid). Between this and now i was long Time happy with Sony Z Series. After 3 Years Sony Z3, i wanted to try LG again, cause the G6 looked good. And yes indeed it feels pretty well, really a nice Phone.
But how can it be, i buy a "Flagship" and get now Major Updates? What happened to the Manufactures? I dont get it. Most of them are slow AF with Oreo.
At the May...be lol, the bookmakers, launch the bets !!
After reading all this I am thinking about one question, which is still bothering me:
Are we even going to get official oreo this year?

First release of v30 oreo was in Korea at december 2017. So if g6 is still not updated at all I think march 2019 is reasonable date.
LG Poland in last month claimed that we are very close with the update. At the moment they have changed information and posted that 'we cant give you even estimated date'. To be honest - I start thinking that Q2 might be optimistic... My second phone - Nokia 5 is already running Oreo with March security update and this is a low-mid phone...
