LG fans recently learned that the South Korean tech giant
will not be rolling out the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update. Now, it seems
LG has no immediate plans to release Android 5.1.1 for its newest LG G4
flagship.
According to GSM Arena,
the O2 carrier from the U.K. and LG Hellas have revealed that LG is not
planning to roll out Android 5.1.1 for LG G4. It further claims that
since LG is delaying or canceling the release of Android 5.1.1, it may
allow users to directly upgrade to Android M. As of this writing, it is

states that the South Korean smartphone maker has released many
smartphones with Android 5.0 Lollipop in this year. However, it has not
confirmed whether the handsets will receive the Android 5.1.1 or Android
M update. In the past, LG had directly updated the LG G3 running on
Android 4.4.2 KitKat to Android 5.0 Lollipop.
The Android 5.1.1 is currently available for Nexus devices
like the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player. The upgrade is
being rolled out to Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in France and in the
U.K. Even carriers in the U.S. such as T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular have
already rolled out the update for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge users.
Sony has confirmed that the entire Xperia Z series of
smartphones will receive the Android 5.1 update along with other
handsets like the Xperia T2 Ultra and the Xperia C3. Moreover, it has
also released the Android M Preview for some Xperia smartphones. NDTV
adds that HTC too has confirmed that the HTC One M9 and the One M9+ will
receive the Android M update.
LG has not made an official announcement relative to
canceling the Android 5.1 Lollipop update for LG G3 and LG G4. Also,
there is no official confirmation about the when the Android M OS will
be released. However, there are rumors that the new Android OS version
will arrive with the Nexus smartphone in October or November this year.
