LG is a pioneer brand that was very popular during the initial phase when the tech world was blooming.

LG G7 ThinQ is a premium range device that was released in May 2018. This smartphone is presently costing around Rs. 53,000 and is available in New Platinum Gray, New Aurora Black, New Moroccan Blue, and Raspberry Rose colors.

Android 10 Kernel Source for LG G7 ThinQ-
As you all know, Android devices get at least two OS updates. LG G7 ThinQ was supposed to receive its final OS update, which seems to have been put to a halt now.
