In memoriam: LG's great smartphone inventions

05 April 2021
The company is leaving the phone business - a business to which it had contributed so much. Here's a look back at all the innovations by LG.

Sort by:

LG is ambitious to break new grounds in their smartwatches too. One of the first manufacturer to create a fully round smartwatch, LG G Watch R (Moto 360 not counted as flat tyre design). They also nearly released their first WebOS smartwatch in partnership with Audi, but that was sadly canned after CES 2015.

      LG needed a whole new marketing strategy, they needed to sack their management & marketing. Not the damn whole tech company.
      They were always there , just few inches off target.

          Dont forget the king of all camera phones, still today, the G4.
          In terms of daylight details, it is still the champ.

                            Dinni, 06 Apr 2021slow down there 1. 3.5mm jack is the thing of the past its... morebruh one UI is smooth and snappy and bug free
                            buddy UR SO DEAD WRONG
                            right now i have a samsung phone and i cant wait to get rid of it once i get the v50
                            one UI is SO DAMN SLOW and buggy that i want to break that phone
                            also a load of bloatware that cant not be uninstalled also that so called "state of the art" knox security is a FAILURE and a SCAM
                            i been hacked from one of SAMSUNGS APPS saying i got a virus (which is fake) and making me pay for these fake antivirus software and like i said I CANT DELETE IT
                            also having a headphone jack is the best piece of hardware anyone could had
                            better than them bluetooth headphones which disconnects all the time and wired has lag free experience

                              Anonymous, 06 Apr 2021There is already competition and innovation. LG simply has... moreYea...in the US, we ONLY get Samsung out of those brands so...no...we get less competition.

                              Really hoping HTC can come back; even if they use Dimensity, I'd be all for it.

                                Dinni, 06 Apr 2021slow down there 1. 3.5mm jack is the thing of the past its... morePlease be faster.
                                1. 3.5mm is the gold standard for audio output. analog output is still the best for top notch music. wireless isn't close and USB C is even worse. is that why top headphones use 3.5mm?
                                2. why would someone lose the SD card? do you put your SD card in your wallet or in your phone? to lose your SD card, you have to lose your phone.
                                3. OneUI is best? one UI might be in the better group but it is slow and full of bloatware.

                                please get your logic right before writing something out of thin air. better for all of us.

                                        Now you recall their achievements, they are first from this, from that, from those....

                                        But on the time they need those right support and review, no one did it,,,,

                                        Sometimes we disregards those who do great...maybe becoz we got nothing...
