I swapped to Pixel now but still keep my LG G8, the expandable memory and audiophile sound quality makes it a compelling music player still.
You also forgot the LG Optimus 3D!
The phone with a 3D screen for some reason
I had the rumor2 and considering it was my first consistent internet connection. It was great.
you mean "Farewell, LG Mobile: 20 Years Of Doing Phones Shittily"
Fact:
The TOP 2 MAIN REASONS why LG bowed down:
* MARKETING (They didn’t spent more to make every devices of them popular)
* SOFTWARE/SECURITY UPDATES (Delayed for months with short life of getting them)
Have a great day to y’all!
I have the G5 and it still stands as one of my most favourite devices till date 🙁
Perhaps the crowd was more focussed on its subjective looks and the fact that the modular design failed to appeal to the masses. I mean yes, S7 at the time was way more cool looking maybe. But as a phone, it had no specific structural weakness, charged fast, had an amazingly sharp display and God the ultrawide angle and the normal cams.. Plus Gcam took the whole thing to another level.. I still miss something like that phone.
Despite their closure, LG seems to be intent on maintaining some software support for their devices. I ended up pulling the trigger on a Wing just this week and can't wait to try it.
My beloved nexus 4, g2, and g5, I crye everytim
yes but come on what's fun about something that has been the same for 20 years. technology is much further but this is only kept busy for suckers who love every new modification, just to be busy with nonsensical stuff
Too bad LG had idiots run the company.
Lg phones are not dead are show good 1000
OMG such a memory lane..I remember my first android smartphone in 2013 was LG optimus L3, till 2015 i'm always using newer LG devices till i change to samsung in 2016..farewell LG
dear LG, please dont come back, your bootloop nexus 5x is enough to not buy lg brand anymore
I am so sad. I am a big LG fan and I always choose an LG before a Samsung. Always had an LG. Only one I really wanted to try was LG with the duel screen case. However I didn't get a chance to try it. That to me is the best alternate version of a folding phone I can own. I have the best of both world. A phone when I want it and a fold when I want it.
LG The father of the all mobile world
Always LG is king new innovation mobile company only LG
I'm still proudly rocking my LG G6 from almost 6 years ago. The phone is a BEAST. It still runs like a "shinkansen"… the only problem I have is with the battery… Sometimes, it randomly, turns itself off when the battery is below 25-20 percent and it just happens to get a call…
I disagree with whatever most tech reviwers say. The phone's demise can be connected to the times when they started having these weird experiments with modular bs, swappable covers instead of focusing on whatever made them strong in the market.
I've always been a fond of LG phones my first being the Vu that had an antenna and my last was the V20 before permanently switching to Samsung. The V20's 24 bit DAC was my favorite next to the wide angle camera. I will surely miss LG and their quirky phones.
The wing is fucking genius… Other phone companies has to look into it ..!!!
You forgot the LG OPTIMUS 3D…What a Handsome Phone..
You either lie about your product and say that it brings something new in people's lives when it really doesn't, or you are working very hard to create something with real new values, but then you already spent your money and time that you should have done on commercials. It's a fine and hard balance and the example shows that it can be too hard sometimes. I used to like LG phones and I used to like HTC and I think Windows phone could have worth a few more years fighting for to follow up it's development. But hey! Life isn't about justice, but about competition.
I really admirelg phone, i got lg G7 first than I'm using lg V40 now… It's sad that they have to stop making phone now.
I still have my LG-Shine. For me it's the best looking cellphone I ever had. (And I go all the way back to the Nokia 3310 in 2001.)
LG just needed to pick a lane. They thought they could use the same techniques from the previous years but that was it's undoing.
Asus definitely decided to go with gamers. If LG just stuck with higher end phones they might just have made it. My brother loved his LG phones but sadly so did his phone repair guy. I certainly did not want to visit the repair guy as often as he did so I skipped buying any LG, even though the Wing was definitely unique and eye catching. Back then during the dual screen days I couldn't understand why LG just didn't put a screen around the whole body but with only one camera system. Which is kinda like what we see on foldable technology.
I really hope someone takes over LGs innovations and passion for new ways to design a phone
A moment of silence for LG, LG accompanied my childhood
End of an era. Hopefully they come back to innovating cell phones in my life time
Now all phones are boring!
So many people don't even know the LG Wing exists, every time someone asks me what the heck kind of phone I'm using, I feel bad that billboards weren't plastered more with this crazy rotating screen.
This sucks! I loved LG phones. They were very easy to use.
LG is extremely hands off with their appliancs outside of the west and korea. Outsourcing "official" retailing and repair centers to 3rd parties that operate like mafias.
In the east and Asia in general LG is a notorious brand and those markets make up 1/2 the world population and fastest growing market. They never stood a chance because of their refusal to oversee crucial ethics of doing business.
All my smart phones were LG (with Verizon). G3 was great, used the G6 for 6 years and that was great. For me, it was the HARDware. Never had an issue with sound, camera, battery, durability, etc
iPhone has kind of a same feature only on 1 screen
Damn. I really loved my LG phones…
Just looked up an upgrade after getting the LG V50.
Not great seeing as Samsung is just an Apple phone with Android installed.
I loved LG for the DAC and the V60 dual screen was awesome. The DAC could drive massive headphones. I kept 1tb of music in my phone and listened via 80 ohm headphones.
