Though LG smartphones are nowhere in the picture, the brand is keeping the hopes alive by bringing in a new and revamped UI for the LG devices. Recently, LG revealed the first look for the LG UX 9.0, however, it is unclear when the latest version of the LG UX will be launched. For those who do not know or own an LG device, LG UX is the custom skin by LG which runs over Android OS on different LG smartphones. But, taking a cue from various reports, the LG UX 9.0 looks a tad similar to Samsung’s One UI. The fonts, icons and other design elements seem like they have been directly copied from Samsung’s One UI.
Moreover, one of the biggest flaws of LG phones was the cartoonish UI that it used on its devices. The vanilla user experience was nowhere to be seen and besides, a lot of features were also missing from the LG UX UI. However, with this new update i.e. the LG UX 9.0, LG seems to have mended their previous mistakes and has added a lot of new functionalities and features for its devices. In this post, we will share with you all the new features, list of supported devices and trackers that we will continuously update once we have the necessary information available with us. So, without any further ado, let us get straight into the article itself:
