LG Electronics today opened the doors to its new Software Upgrade Center in South Korea, a facility aimed at providing faster, timelier, smartphone operating system and software updates.

Located in LG's new research and development campus in Magok-dong, western Seoul, the Software Upgrade Center will not only be charged with developing and delivering regular OS updates for LG smartphones, it will also test the stability and compatibility between hardware and software after updates.

The creation of the center will enable LG to roll out OS updates faster in countries where LG smartphones are available. One of the first initiatives of LG's new Software Upgrade Center will be to roll out Android Oreo for the LG G6 later this month starting in Korea, followed by other key markets.
