Question of Marshmallow for the LG G Flex 2

[huungryshark]

No Android 6 for our beloved Flex 2, it's a shame for a 2015 flagship.

They simply don't care, so I don't care, too.

Really like the G5 but now my money goes elsewhere.

I feel the same way, LG is not getting my money anymore. I never thought a 2015 flagship wouldn't get any updates. Shame on you, LG.

Where did you hear this? If it's true I am going Nexus from now on.

Seems the Korean variant of the LG G Flex 2 is getting MM, at least the open source release.

OpenSource Code Distribution (Via David Off on the LG G Flex 2 Facebook group)

For me I'm hoping the Doze helps a bit with battery usage and all of the unseen things MM can do.

So you think there is still hope for other variants?

What does the Open-source thingy mean for us?

You need an unlocked variant (Korean?) to install open source sw.

Official Versions will get via OTA etc.

But it's a good sign it's even there he means, i guess.

Yes, LG flex 2 is set to receive MM. My understanding is, it's up to your carrier as to when you will receive it. Some carriers have already begun rolling out the update. I hope Sprint does it soon! I love my flex 2 with or without MM! I was a galaxy gal from day one to S6. Not anymore. I'm glad I gave it try.

 

[huungryshark]

Which carriers rolling out MM for the Flex 2 ?

Would be big news here at AC, but reading nothing anywhere on the internet.

It's a damn shame they forgot about this phone, the Flex 2 ist still ergonomically the best smartphone ever built.

Ya, I love this phone and was excited to see them posting the open source, but I don't think ATT is going to update it. If they did, it will probably be right at the time N is out. I love LG but I have to say the lack of updates might drive me away, and this is my 4th device from them and they have all been slow to never. I haven't even seen anywhere where they have sent it over to any carriers yet in the US. Even if they got it today, it's still 2 months away.

LG forgot about us Flex owners

It's a shame , only thing we can do is vote with our money and give it to other manufacturers instead LG.

The ZTE Axon 7 , wow.

Exactly, now that we know Nougat is coming, who really cares about MM. I was so excited when MM came out, and well, it looks like I am going to miss the entire update for the first time ever thanks to LG. And why even buy a different phone now because those will be on the last updates too. Guess we need to skip this batch and wait for Sailfish and Marlin. Seems that will be the only way to stay up to date for at least a little while.

And we know this phone was abandoned when they didn't even include Bridge support for it. What a waste.

SO HARD to give up this form factor

At least for now i am using my Flex 2, but that Google Daydream ready ZTE Axon 7 is really good and affordable.

Those Audio DAC's , front facing speakers, Snapdragon 820 , 4/6 GB RAM, 2k Display and full metal body designed by BMW Group is really tempting for 449 Euro.

Comes with awesome ear plugs, case, screen protector and 2 year protection plan ( US only )

Should get Android N as well

It's official folks, no MM for the G Flex 2. Sorry to break it to everyone who keeps coming back here checking.

 

[huungryshark]

Where did you read the official statement?

So LG is abdoning an 2015 flagship?

WoW just WoW, no single Euro for them anymore, was going to buy LG OLED TV for 1799€ soon.

Android Marshmallow and Nougat update lists revealed - SlashGear
The G Flex 2 has not been on ANY list thus far. I am believing that it just isn't going to happen, ever.

 

[Brent Church]

It is out for Korea, France, Romanian, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Spain carriers. It's the H959, F510L, and H955 variants that have it.
