So here in Brazil LG has recently (March 2017) released the LG K10 "Novo" (Portuguese for "new"), which is a sort of second-generation K10. Unfortunately I could not find information about it on other markets, though I read a rumor that it would be released in other countries as the "LG K20". It features slightly improved hardware (1.5gh quad core processor, 2gb of RAM, NFC, double download speed, OTG USB), a major exterior redesign (the most noticeable change is that the volume buttons were moved to the side) and comes with Nougat pre-installed, with a very different interface in general.
My question is: is this phone likely to get any attention here on XDA? In case LG doesn't decide to release it in other markets, which would seem unlikely, can we still expect rooting, custom roms and other customization for this phone in the future?

We can't tell anything about rooting, custom roms and stuff until it is released.
I can confidently tell you that the LG K20 is absolutely not the same phone as LG K10 Novo / LG K10 2017.
LG K20 does not appear to have NFC, has a quad core processor instead of an octa core, has a slightly lower mAh value battery, seems not to support USB OTG, is available in 32GB storage version too, and has more minor differences.
(Also it goes by the name LG K20 Plus or LG K20 V).
For the rest I must say the whole releasing logics of LG confuse me a lot with all the new editions, different names around different areas, etc.

Well, to be fair, the phone has been released however it appears not in every region, which is what one would expect. I have no clue if they are still planning to.

Is there any chance that our beloved tablet will get a nougat build?
Exactly which tablet? Since there are three variants of the G Pad 8.3 itself, and at least a half dozen other models and variants covered in these sections.
If a newer model/variant of a very popular one like the V500, then probably eventually, but don't hold your breath for at least several months or more for a usable build, if a developer feels like taking it on for your device.
For stock LG Nougat, probably only for newer tablets, possibly the oldest the X8.3 like the VK815.
I seriously doubt if Verizon has dedicated any time to porting Nougat on the vk815. 23a is likely their final attempt to appease users and security updates.

This 2017 variant comes with built-in Android Nougat 7.0 OS. Unfortunately for us 2016 buyers didn't have this OS.
Watch this video. Come on K10 users of 2016, send some msg. to the official LG page. Tell them that we want the Android Nougat too. I guess it comes with a Vulkan API which is so much good for gaming.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good::good::good:
For me K10 2017 looks worse than K10 2016..
I read somewhere that K10 2016 should get Nougat in February 2017 so we will see is that true

K series (prevously L series) is mid range phones and much variants have mediatek chipsets who doesn't share sources. Point of not sharing is that you must buy new generation phone/chipset to get newest software, so basically mid range phones lasts one year until next generation comes out with newest software (in this case K10 2107) . So there is very small chance of getting Nougat, i would like that but I don't hope too much.
But the specs are the same

We will be getting Nougat for sure! We have almost the same specs has LG K10 2017.
Yeah but he is right, I guess not a 100% since they say that K10 2017 has a GPU of Mali T860 which is capable of handling Vulkan API. While most of 2016 mtk variant has Mali T720 :c too bad so sad.
I need the buttons on the back panel, with the knock on function its the greatest thing ever... but i cant see it on the 2017 versions. it was the only reason i bought LG

That is the thing, they make new phone more-less with same hardware, but new software. If they make nougat for 2016 version then they will lowered selling of 2017 version.
@gottlasz
It has unlock button on back but volume are on side.
Knock code should be there that's lg's special sign if know what I mean.

The only reason why I like Nougat are the multi screen and Vulkan API. But 2016 has mali t720 while the 2017 has t860 which is capable of vulkan. Another thing is the metal backpanel of 2017 looks good
Got a new update for my K10-420ds. Just added an emergency button on power off screen a narrower notification panel and just some tweaks and supposedly updates to 5.1.1. I think this might be the final update for this phone. Just wanted to let you know. Does this mean that now the bootloader is unlock able?

Seems like you are late buddy. I already posted about the update long back. I also uploaded the firmware file if you ever need to refresh your phone.
Nougat will be coming for the phone according to some news articles.

I am sorry but what you are trying to say is Snap 410 models of K10 are gonna be updated to Nougat? I've seen the article but upon asking the same to the CC, they just say that they are not allowed the disclose unlike Samsung who just said that my J7 Prime is gonna get a Nougat update and If at all they are gonna release an update for K10's, it would definitely be for the MTK models. I dont know to any extent but is it really possible to directly upgrade from Lollipop to Nougat. Just not so knowledgable in this Upgrade stuff.

Yup this update N would be for MTK variants only. Why? because the LGk10 2017 is MTK variant only. Probably the Nougat which is built-in in 2017 will just ported to MTK 2016 variant like k430dsy

No not true bro. Most of the Qualcomm based phones have higher RAM like K420DS (Indian Variant) has 2 GB RAM and I believe that they will release Nougat for Qualcomm too.
As you know they always release new updates to Korean variants first.
Korean variants are : F670L,S etc. They have Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 same as other Qualcomm models except LG MS428. So I believe strongly it will be released for Qualcomm soon!

Download app "AIDA 64" tap on cpu, and you will have listed cpu socket.
And no you will most likely not get nougat, none of 2016 models will. Specially mediatek versions, because of they are mediatek.

Because you don't launch next generation of phones if you are going to update software on last generation. Especially when is case of mid-range phones. Mid range phones are made to 'be' one year, then new generation comes up with new software and so on.. One more thing, phones that aren't flagships and have mtk chipset - the one that got any software update are rare (you can say that isn't any out there)

But wouldn't you think that that Snapdragon editions would feature at least 7.0? I mean some of the components that make the 2017 K10 "new" aren't involving the software. It's mainly the hardware. A fingerprint sensor, better battery, and expanded ram are what would pull for an upgrade. I agree that the MTK variants are out of the question, but I feel like nougat isn't to far of a stretch for the Snapdragons

Yes, there are new hardware things, but not big deal only fingerprint sensor the rest is just better version so it handles nougat smooth. I don't think that they will give nougat for just a half or ¼ devices (I don't know how many % are snapdragon versions) that's logic you must agree.

I see what you mean, but the percentage that are snapdragon are the major carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc). I just attempt a hopeful opinion on nougat. I mean look how long the Nexus 7 was supported.

You can't compare any nexus or pixel device to any other phone when it's about software especially how long they maintains it.

The first LG K10 2017 variant has MTK SoC and Mali GPU thats why I think they just gonna release it first on MTK 2016 variant. Well good luck for all of us with this rumors I wish Android N had no compatibility issue with some previous games and wish it can have root access also.

First read posts in this thread.
Yes you can have nougat on k10 but only if you buy 2017 K10
Seriously now, since there is next gen of K series there is 0,001% chance of getting nougat, besides that there is K10's with mtk chipset which is know for not getting too much updates.

Actually, I've been following up on the news for the 2017 K10. Its only been released in india as of now, and looking at some other phones which had a similar lifetime (being recreated with the same name), it's possible that companies like at&t may not sell this phone. And if that's the case, then the likelihood of a nougat update (from said companies) is great. Offering a low budget phone like the K10 that has the latest OS is a great way to improve sales. I also don't thinks it's a fair assumption to say that there's a 0.001% chance. At&T just updated the g5 this last week.

The article does say about it.

Sent from my LG-H440n from Serbia
While this does sound great, it does sound a bit too great imo. The article doesn't say if it was announced, or even rumoured from the inside - it's just their own speculation. Nevertheless, hope it pans out.
There's no way we're getting Nougat. Also 1GB is a bit too low for Nougat. I hope I'm wrong though. I noticed that they "expect" OP2 and X to get Nougat, but it's widely known by now that they're doomed in terms of official software updates.
I don't think we're getting nougat update at all. They've released many devices after spirit with mm on them ,so they'll prioritize them first and lg never gave more than a single os update to their mid range devices.
LG Stylo 2, that phone got Nougat update, but hw is a bit same with spirit, also there are config files in kernel. They could made it as I was managed to boot Nougat on Spirit! :d
Hi everyone ,
Looking for a new (2018-19) LG model, either global or EU version, that's currently getting development for custom roms and root with following specs:
1. Dual sim 2. Quad Dac 3. Fm radio 4. C-type usb 5. MIL-STD-810G compliant - IP68 and 6. If possible, also wireless charging.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this quest. Kinda troublesome with all these new models LG has brought out in the market .

Or are there any other LG dual SIM devices fully supported?
