I purchased an unlocked LG G6, model us997, around June of last year. Its last system update was 1/31/2018. The device is still on Android 7.0 when there are other phones released after it that already updated to Oreo, including the HTC U11. In hindsight, I should have gotten the HTC device. Big fan of HTC actually.
The Verizon version was updated to Oreo last week.
What are the chances this device will eventually get the Oreo update? Pixel phones seem to be the best Android devices for ensuring system updates, they promise minimum 2 years. What is a reasonable expectation on other companies' Android phones?
Also, LG has announced they established a separate division in the company to prioritize software updates. So apparently they are aware of the problem. It is fair to say the poor software support has negatively impacted their sales. Would it help to contact LG and complain? And perhaps mention my next smartphone wiill not be an LG but rather a Pixel?
