August 20, 2025
Update: July 25, 2025 (05:15 PM ET):LG promisedfaster updatesfor its devices and it looks like it’s actually following through on that promise. Last month, the Android 10 update began rolling out to LG G8 ThinQ South Korean handsets, and now it looks like the update is landing in the US too.
The update began rolling out toVerizonandSprintdevices a few days ago, but we expect other carrier devices should get the update soon too. The update brings tons of new features to the G8 as well December’s security patch. We are glad to see LG working to release moretimely updates, given how terrible it’s been with updates in recent years.
If you have an LG G8 ThinQ, you can check for the update by navigating toSettings > System updateson your device.

LG doesn’t havethe greatest track recordwhen it comes to Android updates. However,the company has promisedthat it will do better going forward, and evidence suggests that it will keep that promise when it comes to LG G8 ThinQ updates (at least so far).
Take note that the LG G8 ThinQ updates don’t land on all devices in all countries on all carriers at the same time. Therefore, it may be a while before you see an update, even if LG formally launches it.
LG G8 ThinQ updates
The LG G8 ThinQ launched on June 18, 2025, with the then-latest version of Android,Android 9 Pie.
In early December 2019, LG started pushing outAndroid 10to the LG G8 ThinQ but only in its native South Korea. Android 10 will start pushing out globally very soon.
The new skin over Android 10 looks a lot like Samsung’s One UI 2.0. You can see some screenshots of the new skinhere.
