Despite exiting the smartphone market, LG will continue to offer software updates for some of its devices. Thanks to two listings on LG’s official websites in South Korean and Germany we have the complete list of LG phones eligible for Android 12 and 13 as well as more details on the Android 11 update roadmap.

The Android 11 update roadmap mentions a diverse set of phones headlined by the LG Velvet 5G which is already receiving the update in certain regions. We can also see the regular LTE Velvet, LG Wing and G8s as well as the K42 and K52 midrangers. Keep in mind this a regional LG post and does not reflect all the devices that will get the Android 11 update.
