LG's G4 smartphone users will be the first in the world to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.
The LG G4 owners in Poland will begin receiving their M upgrade beginning next week, with other markets in Europe, Asia and the Americas to follow.
The company says details of the upgrade schedule and affected models will be announced in South Africa sometime in the middle of November.
"By working closely with Google, LG has been able to bring Android 6.0 to the G4 ahead of any of our competitors," says Chris Yie, VP and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile.
"While speed alone isn't an indicator of great service, it does go a long way toward giving consumers the confidence that LG is committed to its existing customers first."
The latest update to the Android operating system offers a number of features designed to enhance the user experience. Among these are 'Doze Mode' which shuts down background processing of certain apps when the phone is not in use, to significantly prolong battery life.
Permissions have also been simplified, with greater control of the information applications can access, not only at the installation stage but any time.
There has also been an upgrade to the silent feature for sound and vibrate mode, as well as a 'Do Not Disturb' mode to block all sounds or only alarms and notifications.
