South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc will wind down its loss-making mobile division after failing to find a buyer, a move that is set to make it the first major smartphone brand to completely withdraw from the market.

I use an LG G6 and like it better than Samsung.
Yeah this stinks. I’m very happy with my G8, and like to have as many options as possible, ignoring Samsung and the fruit phone.

I am using an LG 8 with a crystal display, meaning the entire screen is a speaker.
I love it.
If I need a new phone in three or four years, I might go for a Sony Xperia.
I’ve admired a few of Sony’s recent models. My very first cell was a Sony! Having said that, I wouldn’t be surprised if they left the market relatively soon.
I don’t want a Samsung or iPhone. 😭
Are you aware of the company One+. Their android phones are very nice, with design and features that match Samsung. Of course their prices are now starting to match Samsung too. They were once affordable flagship phones, sub $500. Now kissing 1000+ for their top model.
I’ve had two LG phones and they were both duds. Battery life was pitiful.
Xperia was the best I ever had. (Xperia Z4)
Been looking for another one, but very hard to find here in the states, and too expensive for my means, atm :P
Haven’t seen ANY phone that could match the picture quality (even almost pitch black, not using the flash, it could take pictures like they were almost daytime).
(was a great phone to root, not sure if you still can though.)
Maybe LG can switch to the Covid Passport market.
Apparently South Korea is fine with their edict.
I’ve seen the One+ on phone websites,but I’ve never looked at them.
I’ve had Zone phones and they’ve been ok.
I had the opposite experience. My LG phone was the best phone I ever had and I would still have it if not for the discontinuation of the older cellular networks.
Put a tariff on them and make them HERE in the USA.
You could use them as a TV remote too.
I’ve had an LG phone in the past and liked it.
Military electronics is always a decade or more behind commercial electronics*. There are reasons for this, lots of them. But my thought is, if LG went into military drone production, their drone could be the most sophisticated and the most ubiquitous on the market. Imagine an invading army suddenly faced with hundreds of thousands of tiny attacking drones. (You listening LG?)
* One reason is military electrons is usually integral to a manned system. And, as such, the military is paranoid about it failing. Thus they go conservative. In the case of drones you could design an automatic cutoff if they fail. This way if 10% of an attacking swarm fail, who cares?
Figures. Just bought a Phoenix 5 for the wife.
Very bad news. Too bad it wasn’t APPLE!.........................
