As happens every season, Google puts its new versions of Android in the oven before manufacturers have completed the transition of all their mobile phones, which causes disparity of versions in the market and the consequent “fragmentation”. In the case at hand, Google already prepares Android 12 and LG just confirmed a roadmap of updates to Android 11 in this 2021.
Specifically, what LG reveals is the roadmap of its updates for Europe. We now know roughly when jumps to Android will be released for the LG Velvet 5G, the terminal that opens the sequence of the season, or for him LG K42, the mobile phone that closes the list in the last position of the year.

As we have said, LG has confirmed when will your phones be updated to Android 11 in Europe, although it has not specified exactly the days in which these updates will be released. The most specific date we have is, for example, the first of them, the one that says that the LG Velvet 5G It will be released sometime next April.
As for the rest of the phones, LG only confirms the quarter in which we will see the Android 11 updates released. Updates that according to the brand itself are already in the testing phase, so we will have to follow this completely official roadmap to know when will the steps from Android 10 to Android 11 arrive for the seven phones specified by the brand.
LG’s update schedule for Europe is as follows:
- LG Velvet 5G: April 2021
- LG G8X: between April and June 2021.
- LG Velvet 4G: between July and September 2021.
- LG G8S: between July and September 2021.
- LG Wing: between October and December 2021.
- LG K52: between October and December 2021.
- LG K42: between October and December 2021.
Thus, the LG Velvet 5G from the eastern firm will be the first to receive Android 11 of all the models indicated in the list, and we will continue the path through 2021 at a rate of a couple of updates per quarter, approximately. It is expected that the rest of the brand’s launches will arrive directly with Android 11 under the arm, and We will see what happens at the end of the year when Android 12 is already official.
