LG needs to understand that only churning out premium smartphones is not enough to keep up with the trend. The current trend demands an efficient software support system as well.

We are talking of the LG G7 Fit which is currently receiving the Android 9.0 Pie update. The device is receiving the update with build number Q850EM20A.
The new system update is currently available as an over-the-air update which will gradually roll into various regions. So, if you happen to own the G7 Fit and you do not like waiting for updates, then we have the kdz firmware file bearing the same build Q850EM20A packing the Android 9.0 Pie.
