LG has officially updated all LG v30 devices to Android 8.1 Oreo firmware, but LG V30 users still have to wait a few months before the official Android Pie update is available. If you are using an LG V30 phone, and are eager to test Android Pie version right now, the temporary solution is flash a custom ROM on your device.
