According to a Geekbnech listing, the LG V40 ThinQ may soon receive the new Android 9 Pie update. The listing revealed a 6GB RAM variant of the flagship running benchmarks with a test build of Android 9 Pie.

Now, this essentially implies that LG is testing its latest flagship for the latest Android 9 Pie update. Though given LG’s lacklustre track record when its comes to providing timely Android updates, one can’t say the update will arrive soon enough on the LG V40 ThinQ. For now, LG’s only smartphone that has been updated to Android 9 Pie is the LG G7.
