LG needs to understand that only churning out premium smartphones is not enough to keep up with the trend. The current trend demands an efficient software support system as well. This is where the Korean OEM lags behind as compared to the other major smartphone manufacturers. It takes over a year for LG to roll out the system update to its device. We are talking of the LG G7 Fit which is currently receiving the Android 9.0 Pie update. The device is receiving the update with build number Q850EM20A.
The new system update is currently available as an over-the-air update which will gradually roll into various regions. So, if you happen to own the G7 Fit and you do not like waiting for updates, then we have the kdz firmware file bearing the same build Q850EM20A packing the Android 9.0 Pie.
Those who have been waiting eagerly for Android Pie, you will get revamped Settings UI, button to take a screenshot, dark mode, App actions, App slices, improved DND, adaptive battery etc. In case, you’re interested to know what these features can do, then check our coverage of Android Pie Features explained.
OTA Download
Automatic OTA may delay reaching your device due to phased rollout, geographical regions, tele-carrier rollout etc. So, the next option is to search for the Q850EM20A Android Pie update manually and download it if it’s available in your region. This is how you can do it.
