Got an old LG smartphone? You’ve got 2 months to update before LG turns off the servers
LG sounds the final death knell of its phone business.

- LG shut down its Android phone business back in 2021.
- Eligible phones still got three years of Android updates.
- With those now all delivered, LG is planning to shut down its update servers at the end of June.
What’s your favorite smartphone brand that’s gone the way of the dodo? Classics like Nokia and HTC are technically still around, though not in a way such that most of us will ever lay hands on one of their phones again. Maybe the biggest smartphone maker that has utterly turned its back on the industry has been LG, which announced plans to close up shop back in early 2021. At the time, the company assured existing customers that it wasn’t about to leave them stranded, and shared plans to continue providing updates for three years to eligible models. We are now soundly on the far side of that cutoff, and LG is getting ready to pack things in for good.
In just over two months, on June 30, 2025, LG will be pulling the plug on its update servers. After that date, LG phones will no longer be to download and install Android updates. (Thanks: Tadi and Wichaya on Telegram)
