He did a better advertisement for LG than their whole PR team have done in the last 8 years
What about the velvet that was a nice ad
Yeah LOL
Lol
Well said - they should employ him immediately.
Great company but no idea how to communicate.

This makes me feel bad for LG. They are like the SUPER smart kid in school that everyone goes to for answers for homework but never talks to him

I had an LG G2 in college, still my favorite phone I've ever had. That ultrawide camera made... all the difference. Seriously, it always got a reaction out of people, how it was able to fit everyone in the shot with space to spare.
Those on the sides of the photo in funny shapes, trying to get in the shot unnecessarily haha
@@redboyjan Facts, just leaning in, thinking they'd barely fit in the shot lol
it was hot phone
Yeah, I loved LG G2, sad that LG was so underappreciated, actually I wanted to get LG phone as my next one 2 years ago and... :(
I remember wanting to buy an LG phone, but my country tends to inflate the prices on less popular brends, and then I saw the difference between my local stores and global ones I decided it was not worth a shot.
They probably think it's a "novelty" so they can sell it for more.
EXACTLY MY PHONE, 😢.
I like how Sony can name their PlayStations correctly, but just not their phones, lol.
One company two opposite examples
Or their headphones! Sony 1000xm4. what a mouthful!
@@alfiekane3057 at least it makes sense, 1, 2, 3, 4, not like their phones
Same with headphones TVs is understandable but headphones and phones thats why nobody is buying from them
Lol
This is such a fair assessment of LG. Many US reviewers are far too snarky with LG without adding meaningful commentary. Thanks.
But this guy didn't even do reviews for LG
@@harysviewty ya and you can understand from this video why
Their phones are boring. It didn't use to be this way. They can't even compete with OnePlus.
@@bradavon What qualifies a phone to be boring? Do explain.
the only thing interesting on LG's phones is the Quad DAC, but since I'm no audiophile and won't notice the difference, plus I have USB C headphones and Bluetooth TWS headphones, I'm not their target customer, they seem to target a minority of customers
I really miss LG.
I still have such fond memories of my LG G2 and how ahead of it's time it was. It still looks great.
And the last LG phone I bought, the G6, had such a nice wide angle camera that nothing else could compete with. And a really clean design that felt perfect in the hand.
Me too.... I'm still using the G8X and I don't know what to do when its time to get another phone.
yeah miss Lg too i got the G6 and its just an perfekt phone
What IF.... LG stood back and let the other companies do what they do as LG watched how the new stuff happens. and then give birth to a new phone that is so innovative they add all the new stuff PLUS their own style on things? I feel we will see new phones from LG after the next set of tvs comes out by LG. :D
HTC did just that and couldn't compete, which forced them to go into the VR market. But if LG actually markets their phones and are willing to put more resources then maybe they have a chan e
man I loved my G3 for every feature it had. great party trick when I unlock my phone with screen off, just by tapping seemingly random combination and unlock. everyone else trying and failing xD knock feature I still miss it however every phone got this boring double tap to light up the screen *grrhh*
The problem with that is that you need a massive amount of R and D.
Whereas other companies can release devices and problem-solve the stuff the users find for the next device, alongside doing their own R and D. So a feedback loop of improvement. Where as LG would be in a bubble.
The problem know after those years that is most people are choosing a favorite company and sticking with it for several purchases. LG have to work harder than before to establish a big enough fan base.
So basically, LG is the smartest kid in the class but has ADHD so nobody takes him seriously

It was far easier for me to move to an s22 than it was to fix my velvet but honestly I would have rathered staying with the LG velvet. Losing the SD card and the headphone jack for a more expensive in the end phone has annoyed me greatly.

Nope V40, V50, V60, V70 there are people buying these phones but the numbers 🔢 not as high as Samsung Galaxy and iPhones with less features. 😬
when it comes to the consoles, Sony names them well. PS, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5. but when it comes to naming their headphones...ohh boy...
@@pipthegooner or smartphones oh boy o boy
I think LG and Sony are in the same boat. They seem to not really have their smartphones as a priority. They focus more on the products that they're best known for which for LG are home appliances and TVs. While for Sony are cameras and TVs.
I used the Optimus G and the G2 when they were new and they were incredible phones. The Optimus G felt incredibly premium and ahead of its time with the glass back and it had a really good IPS LCD screen. The G2 wasn’t as premium feeling, but they packed a 5.5in screen with thin bezels which kept the phone small. LG fell off because they started chasing gimmicks and every flagship came with some fatal defect that destroyed the phone in less than a year.
I love the music background so much.
and i love your videos so much that am pausing my studies just to see the videos you post.

You are obscenely and absolutely CORRECT. LG convert since 2016. must use to appreciate - most of these comments are by 3rd party observers who never directly themselves owned/operated an LG phone & personally compared the pro's & con's of LG's versus other flagship brands. there's a ton of little ticky-tacky annoyances in most phones that LG vetted out of their products, that never get the credit they deserve. LG is competitive _enough_ in the major common areas, and exceeds expectations in niches I wasn't really even thinking about at time of purchase decisions.. At its price-point LG is the undisputeable superior value and overall product. PERIOD.
I used a LG phone once and boy did they loose me forever. Phone was shit, had manufacturing defects which LG's service centers kept on reffring me to each other, for a month. Then finally they did address it and asked me to pay about half the price for my phone which was in warranty period and had manufacturing defect.
I just bought a Nokia, samsung, MI, Asus after that never turned back to LG.
Whether you are getting regular software updates
I used to have one i destroyed it for a video
@@expertatoz2952 well that's a really low percentage I guess. Literally no one else had these issues with LG
I was quite happy with LG V20! This phone is for creative people with one of a kind camera (PHOTOGRPAHY) and audio. A split screen is a very useful feature, I think every phone should have it. But unfortunately, the phone has reached its limits and I need to let it go. I just pull a trigger and bought V40, can't wait to test it. It shoots photos in RAW just like V20 and it has a log profile when you shoot video! I hope it will meet your expectations!
The LG V60 is also fantastic, I love my dual screen. 5,000MAh battery is just amazing with battery life. Micro SD card slot, headphone jack with QUAD DAC, and 8K video. Just all around a fantastic phone and I'm never buying another phone again until Microsoft comes out with a skinnier version of the Surface Duo 2 that doesn't cost $1,500, preferably with a headphone jack.

@@isaun6523 there's no point. Unless someone really wants the dual screen swivel patent they have I don't really see the value.
Maybe they can try coming back to the consumer industry after there's more consolidation and have a very streamlined strategy, but in general smartphone sales have been declining for awhile now, and besides non replaceable battery creating obsolescence there's less and less reasons to keep upgrading per generation.
@@jonathanpusar5931
Yes The company need work on making their phones stronger or more solid so the need better strategies, the dual screen was useless but there so many other ideas that weren't by lg. Well there are many phone companies that have non-removal batteries so that isn't an outdated feature when you think of phones such as Oppo Reno and Samsung, iphone they have non removal batteries it the innovation and software is what the consumers like about Oppo Reno or Samsung and IPhone so if lg works on there software then they might have an chance so could by the mobile comany and change so things around so that LG can be successful again.
@@isaun6523 LG could start making solid and modular phones with good specs. Software isn't too important to me. I'd like more Android One than any OS skin.

It is a shame, because I happened to like the G series from LG. I had gotten a new one every time it launched. I am by no means a mobile guru, I think my children know more about them than I do. But all the points you make are very valid and even those of us who are way less mobile savy can understand this.

I bought a LG- G VISTA 880 in 2016 on sale for $200 US. I don't know what the launching price was but I love it , still watch video's on it every day and picture is incredibly great, but that's all I use it for mainly, sound is great has stereo speakers and really kicks hard. Only 8 GB storage has a Snapdragon 400 and I wish so badly they would get back into the phone business.. I'm using a Galaxy A 14 now as my calling and app device soon to be replaced by the A 54 when I upgrade this winter. Just cannot stand not having stereo speakers on the A 14 so I'll go on using the LG as backup for video and music..Thank you for sharing this great video with us all, great job👍👍

Great video, I used to love LG phones and I lost interest and very few retailers sold them. It was hard to find them and if you did you didn't have much choice. Very true. Thanks for the upload and it's very informative
Apple: great cameras consistent updates but overpriced.
Xiaomi: Bloatware but cheap and best.
Samsung: great display and sound
LG: life's good but we don't know how.
from what i recall, some LG phones were supposed to have a superior DAC, better than the competition. Sadly, that wasn't enough to drive sales. Maybe the biggest downfall is how they didn't market their phones as well as the other companies.
Actually apple isn't overpriced as you'd believe but yeah there's a reason why apple is shifting its focus on to its other products

Well said
I love innovation, from back in the day I have been jumping from brand to brand, Motorola, Nokia, Blackberry, HTC, Sony, Huawei, Samsung, Apple and LG. For some reason LG was the device that kept me coming back. I absolutely loved my LG devices and the fact that they always had something new to offer. Now that LG is out of our market I find myself in a place where I look at phone options and feel like there is this empty space that I can't help but feel like LG would have filled. Yes they might not be the best according to all the reviews and and, but an amazing device if you are looking for a great all rounder!
Great video!

To me LG's really always been about innovation. They're having fun with their products; designing and descarding them on a whim. But the real reason why I've always been satisfied with LG is mere accessibility. More often than not they're affordable, quality devices.
I do admit, I've never truly commited exclusively to LG. However, always seem to find my way back to them.
The problem with Lg having “fun” with innovation is the price the consumer pays in a lack of support - it’s not fun unless you want to upgrade every 6 months, it’s expensive.
Actually one of the reasons is that LG lacks,is advertisement and RUclipsrs or media dont use LG to promote, I even thought that LG phones are already dead
I used to love LG and I really cut for them, but they burned me later in the g series when I needed em and just kept jacking up their prices, so I jumped ship
I haven’t thought about their phones but they arguably are the best TV manufacturer for gaming. Never even thought about them 10 years ago but they’ve really improved over Sony and Samsung for a better price with the oleds
Same i was on lg g3 for like 5 years then got my v50 can't go wrong with it
Great Review 🖤
Had a LG G3, aaaw such a vivid memory, absolutely beautiful display, curve shaped phone, really comfortable to hold, camera was way ahead of it's time, feature packed phone, battery was terrible though, but I still love that to this day, even when I look back at the pictures that I have taken from G3, they still feel good enough even till date...
I wish they could stay longer and just get on track.

Another issue is software updates. LG has been notorious for years now to be very slow with releasing new android versions to their devices.
Don't buy this - Samsung sucked at software updates for years and people still bought their phones. This is an issue but it isn't the reason people don't buy LG phones.
Software updates are absolutely an issue with LG. I bought the Note8 while my friend bought the V30 in 2017 and my Note is still getting security updates while his stopped in mid 2019.
@@sikhatheist651 People bought a lot of Samsung phones in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 when Samsung sucked at updates. Updates is not why people originally bought Samsung devices. People bought them because they were the anti-Apple - SD cards, removable battery, water resistance, headphone jack, IR blaster. I agree that Samsung is doing an excellent job with updates now.
@@vtpmt8140 You are talking about a time 4 to 8 years ago, LG was selling plenty of phones then.
This. And the distribution of of it is quite poor too. My G6 got updated to Android 8.0 after nearly 3 years.

Hello, I am a Korean who worked in the LG Mobile division. LG smartphones were in the red in the 24th quarter, 5billion $ deficit. It seems that we will not be making flagship smartphones now, and we plan to make only low-cost mobile phones through the ODM method.
There are many reasons for failure , the biggest reason is that you have to make a phone that the senior executives want, not the phone that the public wants. They set final names ,prices and add weird features. They led postponed the development of a rollable phone than we could sell 2million LG Wings . LG innovating at the time of feature phones.
yep been using LG since Optimus G and I agree they don't listen to their consumers and that's sad
Yeah, creativity comes at a cost.
Will there quad dacs in these phones? If not they are not of any use to me.
Does that mean that the whole LG Explorer Project has been killed? Tbh; with the LG Wing you started to get my attention back and i was very excited for whats next in the Explorer Lineup :(

I bought the LG G3, G4, V30 and V40 and all of these were insanely good smartphones at their time.
Especially the advanced Hi-Fi-Sound chip of the V-series smartphones combined with good ear phones is still ahead of any competition. Neither Apple nor Samsung deliver a comparable sound quality. Apple doesn't even have a plug for normal headphones anymore!
That's why I was shocked when I heard that LG stopped developing and producing smartphones because their smartphones had almost the same performance as the other brands and some great advantages like the very good sound quality.
The G4 was such a good phone! i had it for 6 years. i got a samsung galaxy s20 this year and i'm not gonna lie..i miss the G4 sometimes

Just bought a used LG Velvet. It was a toss-up between this or an Oppo Find x3 lite for the same price. The Oppo is a year newer, and in most areas it seems better on paper, but I went with my heart (a stupid thing to say about a mass-produced consumer item, I know). The Velvet seemed more solid, less plastic. And I was really happy with my LG G5 - i went through two of them. For me they were very comfortable to use - very light, and the fingerprint sensor on the back was well placed and worked every time. I could just whip it out of my pocket and it unlock it before it was even in front of my face. The keyboard learning knew exactly where I was trying to put my fat sausage fingers. The camera didn't have a billion megapixels - but it took great photos that were very detailed and rich. The main selling point was the removable battery though - instead of carrying around powerbanks and cables - just have a spare battery in your pocket. And when the batteries started to give up the ghost, just get a new one for like, $15. You could keep a G5 going theoretically forever. Or until the processor starts to fry your screen at least. Despite all of these positives - I was still the only person I knew that owned an LG phone. LG did a great job marketing to my use-case scenario, but maybe their problem is that I'm the only sane person in a sea of idiots.
And so... that's my story on why I bought an LG Velvet.
Still using LG G7, love the audio capabilities and nice screen.
LG: ThinQ

LG: *Creates a triple 1-inch screen phone with an easy-to-remember 69-bit hexadecimal ASCII name, running on a dual boot MS-DOS Android set-up, that has the groundbreaking feature of a community college marketing undergrad virtual assistant voiced by Arun, featuring 3.5 cameras all with microscopic macros shooting exactly 69.420 fps in the gamma ray spectrum, a battery capacity that physically changes from 200 mAh to 90000 mAh whether or not you use the fancy DAC, infinite wireless charging but at 0 watts, and a super low price costing anywhere between $1 and £9999 depending on the temperature, wind direction, time zone, the position of the planets, what’s currently airing on Netflix, and whatever meal Arun had for lunch the day before yesterday*

Hello everyone, Don’t worry I’m not like the other people who lie about getting stuff at 10k and everything. I’m a human but pls listen to this... my dream is to become a huge RUclipsr so if you can consider subscribing to me so that I can be successful and achieve that goal of mine! I promise I’m not a bot but If u do sub just know that your a generous person and I wish you the best! The reason I’m asking this is because my channel is dying a bit so I need some subs now to make it how it used to be. Also I know this might sound like I’m begging for likes but I just really want to grow fast so don’t think like that. It’s okay if you don’t sub but if u do it would mean the world to me. Also, if you do sub plz comment so I can know who did to appreciate you. If you don’t like that I said this please don’t send me hate that’s not what I intend this for, I just want to get some views back because it’s a free thing to do. Much appreciated🙏

But why would anyone use an LG phone in 2021?
My little sister who’s first and only phone was an LG: WhAt DiD ThEy SaY?!?!?!?!?!1?1!?
As an audiophile and long time smart phones user who has owned Apple, Samsung, Motorola and LG...my LG V60 Android 11 5G is the best value I have ever owned.
I see... I'll look into this 2 years 2 months 2 weeks & 2 days later. I'll probably maximize its value.
But seriously, I keep looking at the LG phones before I buy a new phone since I acknowledge that it has solid value... but the S-pen has me on lockdown. If samsung is not going to make a note20 as rumoured they are making a huge mistake.
Yes, but having to wait 5 mos. for Android 11 was almost painful. I checked my software update everyday for the last 2 mos. and finally got update 2 days ago. I wish I had my V60 with Google Pixel software updates. I agree, as an audiophile, the audio is the reason I have an LG phone to begin with. And the V40 before it.
@@twentyfifthjt7888 There's a possibility that you might not know this since LG is so bad at marketing, but the V60 is compatible with Windows compatible pens. A real-world example is I can use my Wacom Bamboo pen that I use for my HP ENVY on my V60. I didn't even know that until after I bought it.
@@msggood4me I did not know that. LG needs to get their marketing shit together. Would have made me think twice about my decision at the time. The S-pen is very capable for its size & convenience though.. & the thing is though that half of my notes are already in the S-note app.. which I really appreciated when it restored all my previous notes on my Note 10 when my Note 8 got stolen. It doesn't seem to be convertible to other formats though.. so they kinda have my notes for ransom. I do really wish they had a desktop app for managing them.
Its almost too late for LG for me unless I ever need a 2nd phone besides a note phone.
@@msggood4me It's also compatible with the lenovo yoga pens
I absolutely loved my lg wing and my daughter loved her v10 tell charge port broke on hers and i retired my wing this month for the sony Xperia newest model
LUV LG V50 just got it awesome!!
The passionfruit has better marketing than the whole LG marketing team combined
Look at my latest comment xD
Are U Comparing Passionfruit To LG? WHAT ?
Passionfruit Is The Only Company Samsung Is Afraid Of !!
Of course passion fruit has better marketing...cuz all it has is marketing
how dare you compare passionfruit with samsung

What a pleasure to listen to you
I remember nursing my old phone along waiting for the g4. They were a first choice for a lot of people back then. The last few times I've been in the market I don't think I've even thought about lg
No joke
maybe one day Arun'd come up with this Passionfruit company that'll take over the whole market!
i mean i'd buy the phone
Yeah if he doesn't phone in the phone seperately

I was an Huawei user, Aften then I moved to LG, & Really Lifes Good.
The phone is supper faster & good.
lol and now you have to move again
@Sulaiman 🎉💩
Which one did you buy? Im thinking about getting one myself as soon as i find a sale
i got velvet 7 minth age, and they gave me a dual screen for free. God damm that was cool.
supper? What's supper? Is that an American thingy
There is a background of marketing between companies and service providers. Some of the biggest cellular service providers often do NOT have LG phones on their bring your own phone lists and this sometime limits people to selecting them as well.
My mother had a basic LG Oconee and the resolution, and photo quality were beautiful.
Arun: I'm about to end this company’s whole career.
LG: Let's end ourselves
Suicidal...
No, they are killing it in the TV and monitor market...
@@TheDennys21 yup they also said they are leaving the smartphone business and will start focusing on AI , robotics , Cars electronic components etc.
Well, they're a huge corporation making so much stuff that phones really aren't a priority for their existence. Maybe just as a competition to SAMSUNG, their probably biggest rival overall.
They are still trying, don't give up LG
Yeah but they should move to other products. Smartphones are kinda odd for them.
@@deleted9821 I disagree. They make good phones, but their marketing, naming convention and PR are awful. I've owned a few of their phones and they were great.
@@HEARTS-OF-SPACE Well... LG's Q series or K sucks
@@user-qi7rm4ln1u Okay. I've never used those models, but you're probably right. They kind of started getting gimmicky, and confusing to consumers. I never said they were perfect, I just enjoyed the models I used and experienced very few issues, if any at all.
Let's not pretend other manufacturers haven't had bad releases and embarrassing blunders. LG is no different. As I commented above, they have bad marketing and PR. I don't think hardware was ever their biggest issue. I fear it may be too late for them to recover their reputation, which is too bad.
Also, this is all largely subjective. I love LG, but I'm currently using a Samsung phone. Samsung phones are really good, and their marketing is obviously effective. Sometimes you just end up moving on to another brand, you know?
Edit: typo
@@HEARTS-OF-SPACE Agreed
I had 2 LG phones and honestly some of the best phones I've had. Then again that was 10 years ago.
5:45 I experienced the same thing when researching Motorola phones.
Usually, a higher number was better, and the Moto G87 was the best out of their budget lineup (although I can get a Google Pixel 7 for the same price and it's a better phone), but on a couple, the phone with the higher number had a MediaTek chipset whilst the phone with the lower number had a Snapdragon chipset. Also, whilst higher number was usually better and was always more expensive, it was difficult to guage, and the specific numbers were arbitrary.
Him: _"Why does nobody buy LG Smartphones?"_
Me: _Maybe, I am a nobody _*_*existential crisis intensifies*_*
But the people who buy LG phones are 2% of market share, that means you (nobody) are 2% of market share yourself
