Verizon appeared to be the first US carrier to begin rolling out the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the LG G6, which was notable given that carrier-locked models typically sit at the back of the queue as updates work through regulatory channels. Verizon did not update the phone's support page at the time, leaving the specific security patch level unclear.
What the Update Brings
The update weighed in at 1.9GB, so make sure you have enough free storage before starting the download. While no official changelog was released, a screenshot circulating at the time confirmed the update would bring Picture in Picture mode, a visual cleanup of notifications, and notification badges. All three are standard Android 8.0 Oreo features that LG G6 users had been waiting on.
Rollouts like this typically take several days to reach all devices on the network. You can check whether the update is available on your handset by going to Settings and then System Update.
Other Carriers to Follow
With Verizon moving first, the other major US carriers were expected to follow with their own Android 8.0 Oreo rollouts for the LG G6 fairly quickly. The LG G6 features a 5.7-inch display, 32GB of internal storage, a dual 13MP rear camera setup, and a Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB of RAM.
