    LG has always been my favorite as it always innovates. It has brought many new things into the market. They have made complex things look way more simpler. So they really deserve to get back. Don't They?

          i think LG makes excellent phones ..... they just have really bad timing for releasing their phones ...

          used to be i prefer samsung over LG but now that samsung is going the "iphone" way non removable batt no microsd ..... i now prefer LG's phones.

          i got the G3 a few months ago for my brother was amazed at how well the form factor is considering it had 5.5" screen .... i had a note 2 and next to it my note 2 felt like a big fat cow.

          i'm getting the LG G FLEX 2 .... best bang for the buck imho right now .... around $250 to $300 for snapdragon 810 powered phone .... can't beat that,

            LG phones in Malaysia is still very pricey on par or even higher for certain segment with manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony and HTC. Hope this move shall also be implemented in Malaysia.

They even sold original LG G3 even though very late last year. The only model that LG Malaysia didn't officially bring was the G2.

                But if you're brave, you can get imported LG G4 for much cheaper.

                  The G2 and G3 were great phones, except battery life and the display (cost of being "first" to QHD), but they got my major props for introducing those slim bezel fronts, which look awesome, and it's beyond me why they moved themselves backwards in that regard with the G4.

                    To me before the G2 Lg was irrelevant but since then Lg have been excellent and now I don't want LG to die out!

                      LG phones are good in term of built quality on specs. But somehow it doesn't expand to enough market outside Korea. For instance Malaysia as I'm still stuck with optimus g pro. And the service center is also lousy indeed.

                        Matter of time LG's mobile business will/ should be taken over by some large player, even if its someone like Huawei that'd be better than LG. A company shouldn't be allowed to make garbage after garbage, year after year, and the new addition is to price premium for garbage products, well LG at least tried.

                        Always was a cheap company. Meh!

                            xiomi is cheap is because they are selling local.. thats it..u get these cheap somewhere else is because u get them on net only...most people purchase in retail stores besides xiomi is uknown out of his land..i cant say if they are bad or not... because even there are fakes sold around... and with people review i cant tell u if are bad or not...only way si get original thing...in the other hand i prefer a trusted last year flaghship than a new phone with lack of support.....lg has good phones one of the best still have is lg g2 ...this is almost perfect..the only thing they need to do is update it to latest version atleast 5.1.1 im not even asking for 6.0.

                                    Lg didnt look what customers want. They want a smartphone wich is looking nice maybe metal like the s6 or iphone 6. And with the latest chipset. The lf g3 model was ok but the g4 is like the htc not innovetive so people are compare them and then choose the best. If lg is not coming next year with a g5 who looks not nice thin metal fingerscanner lg wil not survive de fight samsung did wel with the s6 even ut is not perfect.
