Original story (published on June 03, 2020) follows:

Samsung has changed the name of its custom Android skin multiple times just so as to get a catchy title, the latest being One UI. However, LG has little to no time for that, instead of sticking with LG UX for its in-house Android skin.

The latest that tags along the update to Android 10 operating system are LG UX 9.0. The Korean company could have even gone with LG UX 10.0 to match Google’s OS numbering but decided to stick with 9.0, which could mistakenly be associated with Android 9 Pie.

Names aside, the stable LG Android 10 update has been rolling out for a while now. It started in late 2019 and is still ongoing, with a bunch of handsets still expecting the OS to arrive in the coming weeks or probably months.

Expect insightful articles and explorations of the ever-evolving world of Android and Google products coupled with occasional rants on the Nest smart home ecosystem.
