Pour one out for anyone using an LG smartphone in 2025. The company is shutting down its servers for good, which will block the phones from any future updates.
The Korean tech giant announced in 2021 that it was shuttering its smartphone division, and promised three more years of updates to its existing customers. That time has come and gone, so the servers are finally being turned off on June 30, 2025.
You can still use your LG phone after that time, but it won’t get any more updates. This means it will likely work as expected for the next few years, but there is the chance that a major update to an app could break its compatibility with older phones.
It’s always tough to see a competitor drop out of the smartphone market, but since then, Nothing has moved in as a new player. That said, compared to years ago, there are considerably fewer phones to choose from in Canada. Even established companies like Motorola, which still produces flagship phones, don’t release all of their phones here.
If you have an old LG and want to upgrade, your only options on the Android side are Google, Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus, Nothing and various other smaller manufactures like Red Magic’s gaming phones.
