While the LG G5 Oreo update has been marked by delays, it’s still impressive to see the handset running Oreo. While we always expect our flagships to not die with a single update, we know that when it comes to the real-life manufacturers often fail to deliver Android upgrades. The Lg G5 originally came in 2016 running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the device received Android Nougat sometime later, and now is receiving Google’s cookie. Since this is an incremental update, users from these two carriers should wait for a few days until the update notification arrives.
