LG may have loosened their grip on the smartphone industry but it still offers some great valuable Android phones like the LG V60. LG V60 is a last year’s flagship phone from LG released in March 2020. It was launched with the Android 10 OS out of the box and now within a year, it is receiving its first major update in the form of Android 11. The update is available in the US through Verizon’s channel.

LG does not have a good Android update history and LG V60 is the second device from LG that is getting the Android 11 update. The first LG device to get Android 11 is LG Velvet but it was only rolled out in South Korea. It makes the LG V60 the first device to get the Android 11 update in the US.

It is great news for Verizon’s LG V60 users as they will finally get to experience some new features. If I talk about the LG V60 ThinQ 5G UW Android 11 update, then it is available with build version V600VM20a. Verizon confirms the Android 11 rollout on their support page.
