LG has shared a list of smartphones that will receive Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13 OS updates in the future. LG recently announced that it will be shutting down its mobile business by July this year, but the company has said that it will clear its inventory and continue to support its current smartphones with OS and security updates. The list of smartphones that are eligible for future updates have appeared on company's official South Korea and Germany websites.

LG announced last week that it will shut down its loss-making mobile division by July 31, which makes it the first major smartphone brand to withdraw from the market due to losses during the pandemic. The company has said that its arsenal of smartphones will continue to be supported with OS and security updates and has promised three Android OS updates for its premium smartphone models.

LG's South Korea and Germany websites have now shared a list of smartphone models that will receive Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13 updates, but there are no release dates for the same.
