Do Nokia deserve the landslide they've had since 2007 when Android and iOS became a thing . Understandable LG and HTC prices are a joke but I wouldn't say they deserve it . Wouldn't surprise me if you're an Indian

    Their dual screen phones are so much better than the competition.
    Their sales should be through the roof.
    They need better marketing. Who would pay double for faster refresh rates rather than a 2nd screen?

      As long as LG stubbornly refuses to actually improve their software and maintenance performance, sales will dwindle, & their 'rental fleet' subsidized carrier sales will be their dominant channel.

                  It's because your after-sale support sucks. That's why people stay away from LG phones. And you price your premium phones too high. You are not Apple. You can't do that if you are not Apple. When will you listen? I still don't receive any update for Android 10 for my LG G7+(eaw).

                    Alex, 30 Jul 2020How could they have record sales when they don't even ... moreThey haven't got a clue what they are doing. They make excellent phones. But their marketing is terrible, their pricing is unrealistic and they don't release their phones in enough markets and SIM free. Only Americans are stupid enough to buy phones from carriers

                        Hey LG. Lower your prices and you'll sell ore phones. People aren't going to pay Samsung prices for an LG. That's just the reality

                          No surprises, LG phones have been average at best (even the flagships) for a long time

                            How could they have record sales when they don't even sell the v60 in Europe. Only in US and only via carriers. Oh LG you guys really are adept at shooting yourselves in the foot.

                                  Hey LG: release the V60 (yer best phone, ya?) globally and improve software updates.

                                  It ain't that difficult to figure out.

                                      Aww it's a shame seeing companies like LG and HTC just spiral downwards. They done alot for the smartphone industry and done a hell of lot for Android
