      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 Well there are many phone companies that have non-removal batteries so that isn't an outdated feature when you think of phones such as Oppo Reno and Samsung, iphone they have non removal batteries it the innovation and software is what the consumers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.

      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 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!

      LG just makes bad phones and thats why no one buys them, the audio jack doesn't work properly, the screen doesn't work properly the camera is the worst I've had since 2011, it is slow and often incapable of only running RUclips without horrendous stuttering, and with full resolution and the screen being on charging can take like 16 hours and it still won't be full while then also draining in like 2 hours.

    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.

      The thing is, TVs, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, and Monitors are considered necessity to the consumers, while phones around the time of LG's decline were considered luxury. With a necessity-focused brand, you build your hardware's popularity and name solely through reputation of reliability, not by marketing it. You want a good monitor? You heard LG makes good ones. You want a good phone? no one would say LG, because for one: their smartphone's marketing is handled exactly like their appliances, except of course smartphones are not a core necessity you need to get as soon as the next one, but instead a long term luxury.

      Their problem is they decide based on 1 generation of sales. After the LG G4 I realized that I really like great cameras, and I really like rear mounted buttons. But those features didn't stick around long enough for me to upgrade my phone. I wasn't in the market when the V20 came out, even though I thought it was the perfect phone - and by the time the G7 ThinQ came out, when I was in the market to buy once again, they had veered away from what interested me. Instead, I went to Google, as the Google Pixel was closer to the LG G4 than the new LG's were.
      LG builds and gives away markets, because they don't stick with them and continue to refine their features... they should know what each line of phones is supposed to be, and then incrementally refine it generation by generation. Eventually they'd have a loyal following...
      Right now they are busy razing their audiophile following to the ground. No more Quad-DAC? Brilliant!

The battery depends on the apps you have and how much time you use it. If you don't use it that much and have little apps, the battery will last much more. My dad's LG phone battery lasts up to 2 days because he doesn't really use it. Both my parents and I use LG phones and they are pretty good.

    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.

      @twentyfifthjt7888 3 года назад

      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.

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🙏

    they're not in stores. there are no ads. there are no pamphlets. there are no posts on facebooks. there are no physical stores.

    What's sad is that so much of this is true. I've had 5 LG smartphones over the past 10+ years or so and honestly I'm really lost now that they're out of the market. The likes of OnePlus and Google devices aren't readily available in my country and the brand that I've had the best experience with now no longer produces smartphones! Not to mention that while their aftermarket parts were tough to find at times, the pricing for replacement cables, charging adapters etc were at times half the price of their counterparts! If they had just been a little more careful in some areas and followed through with some of their concepts they could've really been up there at the top. It's a crying shame because their ingenuity and ideas were in many cases insane and out of the box but well executed. I hope they reconsider in the future, fix their pricing and naming, and make a strong comeback.

      The are not underated... They are basically forgotten.
      If something is underrated, most people give it less value than an other thing for some reason but most people do not even think of LG if the want a now smartphone... Neither good or bad

      still using my G7+... two years after I bought it, they're still the sold at the same price.
      Average camera, battery life isn't great but that Quad DAC.... as a music player, there's no phone to equal LG.
      If LG does withdraw from the market, I'd miss their phones for sure.

      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🙏

      @@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?

    LG is like the ADHD kid in school who is actually a genius but behaves like a knucklehead. Samsung is the back bencher who cheats but still scores 98% and Apple is like the rich ass kid who is the sports player and is loved or has been a crush of every girl in the school.
    Edit: Oppo is the child who sells drugs and works as a pimp but still is loved by all the teachers.

    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.
