LG V40 was no doubt one of the most underrated phones of 2018. Also, it’s been over a year when its launch, but still it is an amazing mobile phone to own, providing the best value for your money.

However, the mobile phone came with Android Oreo. Also, it was updated to Android Pie in June 2019. As usual, LG allows its V-series devices two major Android OS upgrades, also we expect V40 to get the same thing.

What do you think Android 10 for LG V40 comes out?

  • May 19: Now Android 10 is also available for T-Mobile V40 users!
  • May 14: Finally, the update of Android 10 is available for LG V40 at AT&T (model V405UA30b)
