Some LG devices have had a nasty history of bootloops, so much so that LG ended up facing a class action lawsuit about it. Now it looks like a settlement has been reached.
Law firm Girard Gibbs has set up a website dedicated to the settlement of a class action lawsuit against LG about the bootloop problems that affected many of its phones. According to the website, which was up earlier today before disappearing, members of the class action lawsuit could get either $425 in cash or a $700 rebate toward a new LG phone.
The class action lawsuit focused on the LG G4, LG G5, LG V10, LG V20, and Nexus 5X for their bootloop issues.
The website included a proof of claim for those who took part in the class action lawsuit to fill out. That form must be filled out by February 12, 2018.
Having your phone reboot over and over and over again is frustrating, as most people have a lot of personal data on their phone and rely on it to stay connected to what's happening in the world. It's good to see that customers affected by LG's bootloop issues will be compensated for dealing with the problem.
