Not sure if anyone else has asked LG about the 8.0 update, so i emailed them and this is the response i got, make of it what you will,
Hello Anthony,
Thank you for contacting LG Customer Service regaring the LG V30.
We know that the new update is getting tested on older models to see if this is compatable with our phones, however, as of yet we do not have any exact dates or time scales of when this will be released. As soon as we have any information regarding this, we will be more than happy to inform you.
I know this probably was not the answer you were hoping for, and i am very sorry i was not able to assit much.
If you have any questions or queries please either call us on 0344 847 5454 or use our our live web chat option on our website www.lg.com/uk

Well beta started in Korea, the global oreo release will be late January early February in my opinion.

Fingers crossed it will be but for some reason I can't see the UK getting it then!
LG has been pretty good at providing at least one major update to their phones (if not 2) especially their flagship phones I see on reason why this wouldn't happen with the v30.

Well fingers crossed they keep up the good work. Would be a real kick in the balls if they didn't upgrade
This is my first LG phone, my last two phones were Iphone 7 plus and Nexus 6p. Both have great system and security updates... The best I guess??
If LG are bad at updating their flagship, well, I am selling it and get a Razer phone (Just for fun) and probably wait til next year and get pixel 2 xl, hopefully by then Google have made LG fix their manufacturing issues.
Oh and being a ex Nexus line user, I am most likely going to sell it in a month or two anyways just because I have the bootloader locked Canadian model.

A lot of it depends on the carrier. LG has generally been one of the first in line with updates these last couple of years. You should be happy T-Mobile isn't rushing out buggy software like AT&T. As of now I (and many others) think we were better off with the May edition software.
I guess that's true. I was upset it took them forever to release Marshmallow to my Tab S2 but no issues with it.

Isn't a tab s2 a samsung? Samsung are one of the slowest to update devices.
I do think the U.S get a raw deal with updates. Mine is on 1st June security patch I think or maybe 1st July, it's in for repair right now so not 100%.
Tab s2 is a Samsung but just saying how long T-Mobile took to roll out the update.
If autoprime did not release the v10e I would still be on c. I think it is unacceptable, have already complained at LG Netherlands and Vodafone Netherlands. Although both have responded quite quickly in the end the release speed sucks compared to other providers/brands

Haven't seen any definitive confirmation of this? All I've seen is regarding the South Korean launch.
My guess is yes. In fact, I hear it will be released in the UK (exclusive to one carrier) and Germany. No sure about other countries. But since it was unveiled in Barcelona, I take that as a good sign that it will be released there.
No need to guess, there have been definite statements.
LG's UK site is showing that the UK will get the Blue and Silver colour options. Price and release date TBC.
Carphone Warehouse have confirmed to have it.

Oh, come on. OnePlus can't even figure how to get to 1440p AMOLED or Qi wireless charging.
When OnePlus decided to make a real top tier phone let me know. ZTE with their 2016 Axon 7 and upcoming 2017Axon 9 is what OnePlus pretends to be, a real contender.
Everyone knows 2017 is the Year of the Zero Bezel Phone. Even Apple knows that! And OnePlus released an iterative update when they needed something more radical. Something like the LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S 8/8+, LG V30, Samsung Note 8.
Even Apple is going zero bezel, more than 1080p with AMOLED, and adding Qi wireless charging!
ZTE will be announcing something similar in October, but with stereo speakers. And probably will be budget priced like the ZTE AXON 7.
The LG V30 will probably be my next phone, and I've already bought cases for it. But I am curious about the ZTE AXON 9...
OnePlus could have done the same thing, but they blew it. Same old same old. They easily could have released a zero bezel, 1440p AMOLED phone to beat Apple iPhone 8 or X, or whatever they're calling it. They easily could have added Qi wireless charging. Instead they released 5.5" 1080p slab with huge bezels that looks like last year's iPhone 7.

Except the camera might not work as good as stock. At least this is the case with Samsung phones and LOS... And that would be a real shame because so far it looks like v30 has a superb camera for movie clips and that's the only reason I consider buying v30.

yeah!
i was at IFA this year and i held it in my hands and it was f***ing awesome. i wanted to buy it since end of august.
in the meantime i smashed my sgs7e to pieces and i need a new phone even more. and i also wanted to wait for the new pixel to be presented and also looked at the op5/T also maybe the huawei mate 10
but in my opinion the v30 has the most complete package. in the pixel 2 you dont get dual cams no wireless charging and no headphone jack.
i think only dual front facing speakers and the pure vanilla android software do not justify the price.

For me the more important thing are dimension and fingerprint position, in v30 these are perfect, S8+ is way to big and the fingerprint is in a weird position, but it costs 250 Euros less :silly:
Hi,
Does anyone have any solid intel on a release date for Australia yet?
Cheers,
Good question. supposed to be early Nov. but who knows. I was in a Telstra store yesterday and they had no ideas (which is not uncommon )
I'm waiting for it (V30+ H930DS Dual Sim)in the Gulf region...Not a peep from them,they keep tweeting "in the coming weeks". Poor management on LG side.

I too live in the UAE, the sad thing is any dual flagship from LG never gets bootloader unlocked! Still rocking the dual sim LG G4 (LG H818P) will be a massive upgrade to LG V30! Instead of buying locally dual sim LG V30 (LG H930DS) I'll order online an LG H930 (single SIM international version) I'll enjoy root as well as an custom kernel

Well the release date has been up on LG website since 2/11/17 stating availability at JB Hi-Fi from November 16th onwards. I've contacted my local store several times and finally today they were able to tell me that I can preorder it as of yesterday, even though there's nothing yet on their website. Happy Ordering!
LG V30+ Australia
JB-HiFi
Placed my preorder at local JB-HiFi today for $1199AUD. They're still not sure if it comes with anything else like a Google Home Mini or the rumoured Beoplay H3 earphones.
After checking the press release it seems they earphones are obtained via redemption from LG after purchase.
http://www.lg.com/au/press-release/lg-gives-top-smartphone-contenders-a-run-for-their-money
still waiting too, I'll buy it at JB hi fi
Well it's been 7 days since I preordered it and 5 days since its release and I still don't have it yet. Has anyone else got one from JB hi-fi yet? My local store seem to be having a very difficult time getting it in stock.
out of stock in every jb hi fi in Gold Coast
Mine arrived Thursday. 4 days and loving it so far.

No ! Froyo is coming next week to G6
LG seems to have no love for the G6 in Europe, still being on the July Security patch clearly shows this.
Reason for this could possibly down to poor sales in Europe as the rapid drop in price since launch seems to reflect this somewhat.
Eitherway the G6 will get Oreo no doubt about that, the Asian Markets will get it first then other Market's with Europe more likely being last.
So don't be surprised if we don't see it until Spring next year at the earliest in Europe. :/

It' LGs fault that the phone is sold that bad in europe, because it's the worst version of G6 and not cheaper.
That the price is dropping that fast is a logical consequence...
If there would be better marketing (availability in stores) and support, the phone would sell much better!
Weird, I've got January 2018 security patch - much more recent than July. And, I'm in Europe too.

As far as I know January 2018 is the last security patch avaible for the H870 - I have that patch on my phone too.
Very disappointing.....we will update ....we will update....bla bla bla ....but when?
As a Canadian G6 user, I can tell LG could care less about the European market. I'm still waiting for Oreo on my device.
They keep saying they're gonna update the phone, yet they can't even give us a date for when the update is going to be released.
I know updating a phone is easier said than done, but why are they taking so goddamn long? I mean, they managed to get the V30 to Oreo within a year of its release. It can't be that difficult, can it?
I'd like to bring up the story of the forgotten LG G4 that only got Nougat in South Korea, because I think it's relevant to this. History tends to repeat itself.

When it comes to v30 there is only 2 weeks delay beetween Canada and Europe. And around 4 month between Canada and Korea. So if oreo for g6 hits Korea this month , maybe by the end of the year OTA will arive to Canada and Europe xD
I found a link(ignore if already seen), where in LG provides details about monthly security bulletin for their devices. Wondering why they don't roll out.

It's a shame our international G6 is so behind other devices which already got their updates. That's not what I expected when I bought this phone. Overall it's great but LG's support, in fact it's lack of support, sucks in many ways.
The best combo for me would be: G6 with OnePlus update schedule as it fixes their phones quickly and Apple update schedule for 3-4 years of updates
But why facilitate when you can make things more difficult?
Well, this is our punishment for buying a "budget" phone ? . I wonder how much would cost a LG flaghsip that receives monthly updates as Nokia. As an owner also of a Nokia 5, I must say that I.m impressed by their commitement, since they issued every month security patches and some days ago they pushed oreo beta with december patch.
