LG G3 to receive Android 5.0 Lollipop update this week - LG

LG G3 will begin receiving update to Android 5.0 Lollipop this week. The Korean manufacturer announced its OS upgrade plans shortly after an Android 5.0 ROM for its flagship leaked out.

LG is the first major smartphone manufacturer to deliver the latest Android build to its halo smartphone. The company has revealed that the Android 5.0 Lollipop OS update will first roll out to LG G3 owners in Poland this week and later to all other key markets.

More details related to LG devices will be announced in the coming days as the Lollipop upgrade becomes available in local markets.

LG G3 owners can check for updates manually on their device by going to:

Settings >> About phone >> System updates >> check now

Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a slew of features including a new design language Material Design, improved security features, and the notification center on lockscreen. Since the last couple of versions, LG has toned down the bells and whistles to make the Android experience a lot like stock. It remains to be seen the level of customization and features the company will introduce with Android 5.0 Lollipop.

"LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority. The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is," said Dr Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
