The LG K92 available by some carriers under contract was a slight design revision of the much earlier released Q92.
The last true LG designed phone that went into production was LG K42. Just bumping up RAM, slightly upgraded SoC (P22 to P35, as both are pin compatible with each other), more internal memory and better camera sensors we get K52, Q52, K62 with a higher price tag. All these 4 models have the same internal as well as external base design, identical dimensions, same display and battery.

I am big LG fan and own some of their flagship devices like LG G8X and LG V30+ to name a few. However I will never buy a W series phone as the phone at the first place was not designed by LG. Secondly the software part was also not done by LG. W series phones are made by LG’s ODM partners which include Wingtech, Huaqin and Longcheer in China. The software is also provided by these ODMs, LG only provides startup animation in the software.
On the contrary LG's globally available and similarly priced K-series phones are designed by LG. Same goes for the software. Some OEM then manufacturers the K series phones under license for LG. As I found out K-series have traditional values of LG after buying the LG K42 at meager $100.
Let me explain. If I look at one of their recent flagships like LG G8X, I find:
1) Military Standard 810G certified
2) An industrial/ practical usable exterior design, a LG trait
3) Oleophobic coating on display, repels water and smudges
4) Separate physical volume up-down keys, a LG design trait
5) Bottom speaker having three big holes, a LG design trait
6) Special importance to audio, presence of LG's famed QuadDAC, DTS:X & stereo speakers
7) LG UI overlay running over Android 10
The LG K42 have all of the above mentioned traits of G8X, making it a real LG device. Ok it does not have QuadDAC audio chip of G8X due to cost reasons but supplements DTS:X 3D Surround with its own LG 3D Sound Engine. And yes, K42 have a single speaker.
Now coming back to these W series phones like the W41 Pro here, it has none of the LG traits explained above. Instead it has ample traits followed by Chinese manufacturers like:
1) No phone ruggedness certification like Military Standard 810G. Saves cost.
2) Use of copycat exterior designs.
3) No Oleophobic coating on display, instead we get cheap plastic screen protector pre-applied. Saves cost.
4) One single physical volume up-down key, not a LG design trait
5) Bottom speaker having multiple small holes, not a LG design trait
6) No importance to audio, no software enhancement found.
7) Running stock Android 10, devoid of LG UI overlay.
Hence buying a W41 Pro, W41+, W41, W31+ or W31 is like buying a Chinese phone with a LG stamp at the back. Nothing LG about them. Better buy Realme or Redmi instead.

marge, 12 May 2021I know, right?! I would have expected something a little mo... moreWhat people do not understand is LG's W series have nothing LG going for it. The W series are complete ODM products made by any of the three LG’s ODM partners which include Wingtech, Huaqin and Longcheer in China.
W series are made specifically for Asian market with India as the target country. India is the second biggest smartphone market in the world and Chinese manufacturers are obliterating Korean manufacturers in the budget category.
Companies like LG are giants and they are not made to operate in a very lean cost effective manner like Chinese manufacturers. Hence LG is using off the shelf ODM products to have zero R&D costs and provide better specs for the same price. The phones and specifications are chosen by LG and there is hardly any specification or design change that can be altered largely. The same phone may be sold to both LG & Samsung and the only difference will be the logos. These ODM partners also provide the software. That's why W series have stock Android devoid of LG UI overlay. If you look closely, W series have zero LG's traditional design cues.
In contrast the LG's K series are for global market with ample inputs from LG Korea. LG does complete R&D, hardware as well as external designs and then some OEM under contract manufactures these phones for LG. OEM manufacturers seldom design any product on their own. All the products are designed according to the data provided by LG.
Take for instance LG's $100, budget offering the K42 model. It has LG's traditional values:
1) Military Standard 810G certified, just like LG flagships
2) Innovative exterior design, a LG trait
3) LG UI overlay over Android 10
4) LG 3D surround sound engine
5) Design cues like 3 holes on bottom speaker, just like LG flagships
None of these traditional traits are found on any of the W series models, because they are not designed by LG. But for the same price of K42, the ODM built W31 provides better specs. So if you want a real budget LG, buy their K series phones instead.
