And yet LG cannot figure out why they are loosing money/market in smartphone department year after year. Wondering who are their top level executives.

Anonymous, 07 May 2020Yap, it's a close call haha
But hey, we still have 7 month... moreThat is true. If the HMD 8.3 arrives at the fall of the year or winter it could be even worse at that time with similar price. The time will tell. But obviously better avoid both phones and buy a better one with the same money and enjoy a better phone and experience.
These overpriced phones have no sense but, if people buy them, sooner than later mid-rangers from the majority of recognized brands that add some decent hardware will end costing near 1000 euros and the flagships 1500.
I hope that people/customers with common sense, not blind fans, close their wallets until prices become more reasonable or, at the end, you'll end paying more for a phone than for a car. Something already real for some second hand cars and more motorbikes.

Is a good looking device at over $500 supposed to be a favor?? These OEMs act like they are doing us a favor with their price to value ratio, I still maintain Apple is one of the few manufacturers that offers true value for money, and I’m only talking about their flagships, Lenovo is highly underrated and the Z6pro proved that, tired of seeing over priced devices overcharging for innovations that are not even practical, what do I need an edge screen for, is a bezeless phone supposed to even be a luxury??theres more 5G smartphones than available coverage, phones doing antutu scores of over 500k just to play PUBG and open Instagram, no console level graphics, gaming consoles even cost as low as entry level and some mid range devices with even more innovation and cooling solutions in them, a lot of these android phones don’t even excel in the basics of a phone, d cups gonna be full soon, I’ll be patiently waiting for a replacement for smartphones, till then I’ll keep buying two year old flagships.. sighs

Secondly, what is the logic of saying that a 5G high-end phone with quad dac hifi, 8 GB of RAM, smart stylus, side display and waterproof feature and support for 2 terabytes of external memory should $ 375? do not say bullshit

LG made mistake in pricing, insted 735$, thia phone worth (because of design), 335$ max, SD765 is midrange SoC, even Qualcomm knows that, or maybe for 735 will be, you pay for one, another is free, deal

I don't understand what the target audience is for this phone.
It's not a flagship.
It's bearly a good mid ranger.
Price is way too high.
