The technology giant will no longer produce smartphones, announces the end of
LG phones

A major mobile phone brand is preparing to close forever at the end of June.

Users now have less than 30 days to take action if they want to get the latest update for their phones.

LG announced in 2021 that it was closing its smartphone division.

Its first Android phone was launched more than 15 years ago, although LG's roots in the mobile market go back even further.

LG once held the crown as the third best-selling mobile phone brand in the world.

But the South Korean tech giant struggled to keep up as new rivals emerged, including Oppo and Xiaomi, as well as long-established competitors like Samsung.

Despite the shutdown, the company continued to roll out important Android updates to existing users.

They pledged to do this for three years.

But that time is now over with the final update set to be released on June 30, marking the end of LG's mobile business.

Affected users will no longer be able to download or install Android updates after this date, making their device more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our customers who have loved and supported LG Electronics' mobile products," LG said.

"After the end date, you will no longer be able to use software upgrade services.
