According to a report from Tech Times, there are no plans to initiate an Android 5.1.1 update in the newest version of LG's flagship phone, and will instead head straight to Android M.
A report from Gotta Be Mobile, however, claimed that there's a chance that the LG G4 will get the Android 5.1.1 update in order to fix some of Android 5.1's bugs. It is also likely that the LG G3 will go straight to Android M instead of getting Android 5.1.1.
Android Authority reported about a new update with the label VS98524B, or simply 24B. The upgrade isn't the Android 5.1 or 5.1.1, but it comes with new features such as the Bluetooth button attached to the in-call screen. The update also allows users to turn off the notification scan, except for priority mode for important messages and events.
