      From LG to Sony, everything is downgraded.
      Sony don't even put heat pipe or vaper chamber inside their phone. Xperia 1 run hot from generation1 to 4, never had any improvement.

        South Africa finally has the android 12 update. At least Telkom does. So far I have no complaints. Not many big changes just the privacy stuff that is really noticeable and appreciated. This phone still works pretty well. I am concerned about my choices for an upgrade since LG has called it quits. Maybe I should look into Sony? Hopefully the Experia 5 gen 3 will drop in price once the gen 4 is released. Maybe I should look into a Experia 1 gen 2?

              You can find out more by searching the firmware name. Or the last update installed on update history.

                bought an used V50, but LM500XM version....and it is still on android 9....it is super great at almost everything, battery life, snappy and all that...but for some reason i cannot upgrade, not even to A10...not sure why...when i got the phone i thought that given that the phone was not in use for more than a year, it was just a matter of connecting to a network and i'd be receiving all of the updates...but...so fat still on A9 and security update from....May 2020! :(...and whenever i try to update it using the phone's own method it says that i am already using the lates software version!...whenever i look for updates...i cannot find information for this XM version...help....

But, I’ve heard there are few is... moreI have had random freeze ups with Android 11 when I would try to unlock my phone through finger print sensor. It would just not respond for a few seconds. I was ok with it as it used to happen once or twice a day. But I recently updated it to Android 12 and since then it does that thing like almost every time, it literally got to a point where it didn't respond at all for several minutes and it this time i had to restart it. Also with Android 12 the system is really sluggish almost seems like the 6GB RAM is just not enough for it. I have only owned the phone for like 4 months and I was just content with it for the features i got for $180 but Android 12 update had made me question my choices and am already looking for a new phone. So think about that before you buy this.

                        Get a korean v50 from ali express instead, ask the seller to declare it at 50 bucks to avoid custom tax.
                        As for performance, am using a korean v50 and i got no issues, battery last just as long, no scrolling issues that i have read elsewere. I dont play games so i dont know how it performs when under heavy use. Video calls no issues. Reading no issues. Avoid having too much white in the background tho, screen panel is OLED and white will make the screen warm if its too bright.
                        Also the telegram community for lg has plenty of fonts and themes now that LG world is basically dead, you still get access to some free themes and background, AOD tho.

                              I have used my V50 as my primary phone since 2019. I've never had any reset, freeze, or other problem on any of the systems (it was android 9 in the beginning, now it's 12). A perfect smartphone for me (Hi-Fi Quad + MQA, + audio jack), but I'm slowly looking around for a new audio phone and am slightly disappointed. Progress has slowed, and this one is still great.

                                I got myself this phone last week (30/July/2022) for the equivalent of $250. That detachable Dual Screen case is so much more flexible than foldable screen smartphones as I can detach it if I don't need to use it. But even with the case attached all day, I don't find it as heavy as people would believe. That said, the second screen proves to be so useful when viewing different documents and websites at the same time. Also, with the "ViewMode for LG" app on Play Store, I can emulate Nintendo DS gaming. It took me a while to get the settings right, but it's totally worth it.

                                  If you just bought it, depending were you live you need to register your phone in your own country bands ( each country has their own website to register phones) they give you a month to register it then you lose access to all bands( resulting in getting no service), its usually cheap to register a phone brought from outside, like 5 dollars.
                                  As for the other option, you would need to provide some more info, like you just updated to A12 o you change setting, etc.

That happens when downloading as large as 5GB file through the browser, with like 5MB/s speed, the phone seems can't handle that heavy data flow, then it will reboot in a sudden.
                                      This is super rare and basically in normal usage, random reboot that is not due to the above reason occurs in a frequency of 3 times in a year. I think this is a normal frequency.

                                      I don't have black screen or any problems at all.

                                        Be sure that you get a genuine piece.
                                        If it is going to be a refurbished one that you are planning to get from Ali Express, then these issues might come into any brand that you plan to get.
