LG G5 gets Android Nougat

LG G5 arrived back in April and remained one of the few modular flagships currently available on the market. However, while the LG V20 became the first handset to launch loaded with Android Nougat earlier this fall, LG G5 owners had to wait until now to get the update. Unfortunately, those not located in South Korea still have to wait for a few weeks until Android Nougat for LG G5 becomes available in their areas as well.

According to LG, the company "today began rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat OS for the LG G5 in LG’s home market of South Korea." The set of new features offered by the new software includes multi-window capabilities, more personalized settings and smarter notifications, searches that can be performed both inside user-installed apps and built-in ones via In Apps.

While LG G5 users in South Korea have already begun to receive the update notification, information on the arrival of the update on other areas should become available locally in the coming weeks.
