    I don’t think most consumers would even notice their absence in smartphones. They do make good other products though

    Their refusal to update their software is what killed them. Its completely on them.

    The Stylus 6 was a HORRIBLE design. WHO uses a stylus in 2021?

    Damn them!! I finally decided on a new phone … Stylo 7 (has what I need for my usage). Now I have to start over on which one to get!! Might they still release them? Just asking …

    The one who could solved LG’s phone business is Elon Musk.
    Someone can still do something to save LG phone industry, even I can solve it. LG is manufacturing boring phones with weak software for the competition.

    Two minutes and 47 seconds I’m surprise you didn’t talk about the LGG3 in the optical image stabilization. It wasn’t until that phone that I saw other companies using the same technology

    They closed because nobody was buying their phones. There you go.

    Why does Sony still make smartphones while LG doesn’t? Did LG gave up that easily or is Sony just stupid not to discontinue its mobile division??

    I’m not sure if it’s for you but many will shove themselves in remorse in a few years for losing out on the chance to purchase and invest in appreciating (ideally cash flowing) assets like Ecommerce, digital assests, stocks

      .It’s not that far away! Amazon, Microsoft, Overstock, Shopify, Wikipedia, and a slew of other big names have embraced crypto coins for their trade. People will soon abandon bank transactions in favor of cryptocurrency, especially when transacting across borders

    My LG Stylo 3 Plus never gave me issues and was a dependable phone. I finally upgraded last year because I wanted a newer gen flagship that would be good for a few years as I am planning to move abroad and though I did not choose LG, I maintained my good opinion of their phones. I love my LG Gram laptop, also.Thank you for your hard work, LG!

    I love lg but im glad they quit smartphone business. That means they will not work with the evil google anymore. I hope they will make a comeback someday with their own software and operating system in the future cause i want to ditch android asap or waiting linux phones to become reliable and usable

    It would have been great if Amazon, Tesla or Facebook would’ve stepped in… or maybe Microsoft… Nadella may have a shot at making the Windows Phone work after the fiasco that the company had the last time under Ballmer’s leadership….

    I’ve been using LG from G3, G5, V30+, and now V50 5G. I’d have to say that G5 is the most interesting and worst quality of the bunch. Yes, the LG phones have long been considered as budget with top-tier specs. However, there’s a cost to that, they are cutting corners from places that are not listed on the spec sheet, such as the GPS module, etc. Although I’m always getting the top model of LG, all my LGs are having worse signals comparing to other top-tier phones. As much as I love the innovation and low cost (well, most of them I paid around 200-300 with 2-year contract, and 2 of them even gave me free TVs) of the LGs, that’s how much I hate their quality.

    My LG g6slimq is the most reliable phone out of all of my friends phones. I absolutely love it.
    I would buy another before buying anything else.

    Maybe RIMM will buy them and launch the LG Blackberry? Or maybe Microsoft will buy them and launch the LG Windows Phone?

    I’m grasping at straws here…

    I had an LG Nexus 4, got one for my wife too. It was well priced and plenty powerful but had 2 major problems. The power buttons would only work intermittently after a few months and the much bigger issue that the graphics chip wasn’t seated properly and with use could fail. There was a last ditch hack-fix by baking the board in the oven to try and reflow the solder but it didn’t work for us. We had both of those issues happen on both phones. I’m sure it didn’t affect everyone but stuff like that meant we never touched LG phones again.

    I’ll be trading in my LG V60 towards either the Note 20 Ultra or the S21 Ultra. Back to Samsung I go

    Always an LG supporter. Lg b200 , lg renoir and finally lg q7 in which I am currently using today. LG Velvet would be the Last LG phone I buy as part of the 5G tech. Don’t like Samsung or iphone.

    I wanted to buy an LG, but I just couldn’t. They couldn’t stick to a clean minimal phone that just worked. They had that great sound chip, kept the phone jack, decent ui skin, but they just had to fail at gimmicks.

    If they kept the nice simple features with great sound, lose the notch and compete in price then they would have had a winner imo.

    LG devices don’t get the recognition they deserve and it’s because of these corporate dumbasses that don’t know how to Market their products, LG does not know how to Market their products. While working at LG I had some ideas that could have made their mobile game Skyrocket but no one would listen to me. Now look what happened.
