Fido expects to bring Android Oreo update to LG V20 in August

If everything goes according to plan, LG V20 users on Fido’s network can expect their phones to get an important update soon. According to the carrier’s official update schedule page, the V20 is expected to get Android Oreo next month. Fido didn’t specify what date but we’re hoping they’re sticking to the plan. Also, hopefully this means the OS update is coming to other V20 devices, too.

LG V20 comes to Bell, Fido, and Rogers on March 9th

Looks like the LG V20 has been getting the attention of Canadian users. LG Electronics just announced that it’ll be bringing the V20 to three more carriers on March 9^th. It’ll be coming to Bell, Fido, and Rogers. According to a press statement from Shelly Walia, brand manager for Mobile Communications at LG Electronics Canada, “The positive reaction post-launch in October drove us to secure additional Canadian partners. We’re proud to partner with Bell, Fido, Freedom Mobile, Rogers, and Videotron to ensure people have options.” If you’ve been waiting for the V20 to get to your carrier, now seems like a good time to buy a unit.

LG unveils V20, company’s first Android Nougat-powered smartphone

Don’t have a Nexus and want to get your hands on an Android 7.0 Nougat device already? LG just unveiled the V20, the V10’s successor. It’s the first device outside of Google’s Nexus devices to get the latest Android operating system.

Instead of maintaining its distinct look with a rugged, grippy back and stainless steel sides, the V20 looks rather similar to the G5 with its smooth aluminum surface. But this phone doesn’t carry LG’s interpretation of modular smartphones. The good thing though is you can still swap out the 3,200mAh battery and the phone is supposedly sturdy having been rated MIL-STD 810G for drop and shock resistance. Don’t take it swimming with you, though, as the phone isn’t water resistant.
