Anonymous, 06 Nov 2021hi...i'm planing to buy one at nearly 200USD in our country's currency ...
How is t... moreIf you buy one buy either the global version or korean, those two models are unlocked worldwide, dont buy US models outside US or buy them at your own risk, US variants lock bands depending on carrier so research first if you go for US model.
If you get the korean version it will come with a dual clock on the locked screen, you can delete that clock by following a tutorial on how to delete korean clock.
As far as LG statement said, Lg v50 will get OS 12 and thats it. If you want to pass OS 12 you will need to buy a lg v60.
I own my korean v50 2 year now, zero issues. It has gotten all updates and i live in south america. Currently OS 11 with a security update on oct 21. Even the Lg radio app works.
As for issues i got none, phone is a beast, with dac and high storage both in phone and with sd card. Buy neutron or USb audio pro and listen to all your flacs.
Also telegram community offers lots of themes and fonts since LG world is basically dead. So customization and fonts are available. You can even upload your own fonts.

How is t... moreOf course V50 is better than any middle tier phone in 2020 and 2021. Despite not having a 108MP camera. But the 16MP ultrawide camera on V50 is quite promising as it can shoot 4k 60fps which most other makers still struggling on their flaship phone in 2021.
As long as you are not a "average consummer" which means that you will never dig into the setting manual for your whole life including the camera settings, you will find that LG's phone can do many thing that others cannot.
Bulky UI is a problem, but I think users should know how to maintenance their phone, at least kill useless backgroud apps regularly.
Updaing is a problem. Android 11 is a big bug and failure. Oneplus and Samsung and Xiaomi cannot stop their phone from scrolling lag built-in in the Android11, neither than LG. I personally decided not to update any more as I don't see any merit of doing so. I you concern about useless updates, you better leave.

iabhi, 20 Oct 2021I tested with Airtel it is working fine on A11.
It won't lock.
Initially, it didn'... moreYou made me realise, yeah LG is very bad with their software region lock, some features is locked also the signal, maybe it can be done with hidden menu, but some are not, that's why people choose samsung instead of LG, altough LG quality is decent but their region locked is not convenience, Samsung is not that strict however even using other phone series regions
Thank you for making me realise that i still have trauma with V20 and G6 region locked which pretty painful

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2021Is it true 5G doesn’t work on this phone? Outdated tech?At that time released, 5G is only available commercially in some country, which USA is the biggest 5G coverage and it is commercial not trial anymore
your comment is like you were living in some place that out of signal and you didn't know what happened in that year, since 5G mostly in USA, it is normal that OEM only put 5G bands that used in USA not in global version
Even now 5G is available in some country, it is still Trial and very limited coverage

Anyone knows how can i make file manager to include folder names on search, it only search for files while using keyword search.
On android 10 it used to include folders on the keyword search.
Using for example ES explorer search just like i wanted to, android 10 used to do too. :/

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2021Is it true 5G doesn’t work on this phone? Outdated tech?On the Verizon network it only has 5guw bands. And UW works only for Verizon direct customers.
