        Kingslayer, 26 Jun 2021Nah, LG is trash. And I supported them like I did for HTC f... moreV30 was a game changer them in quality and battery. Though the v series didn't beat the galaxy. But trailed right up on its heels.

          "Samsung is pressuring LG to also sell Galaxy phones at its stores, not just iPhones."

          It's not like Samsung is blackmailing LG with sending goons or criminals to do it. Therefore, Please word the subject a little more in context and factually.

            1 question tho... dont u have to become an authorized Apple reseller in order to sell these iPhones or...?

            can someone explain how that works... thanks!

                I don’t know how to feel about Apple and Samsung products in an LG store.

                Also, have you guys noticed that Samsung is getting kinda desperate?

                  LG should have just sold their phone business with a share percentage to samsung and then they could be making premium LG phones like just 2 - 3 phones per year. LG v series are way better than most phones out right now. Anyone got may, june security patch on any LG ? Last update was aprill for me

                    Jerrimy, 25 Jun 2021Feel bad for lg that they would have to sell either piles o... moreNah, LG is trash. And I supported them like I did for HTC for years. I still own my LG G5 but not my V20. Always some issue with them.

                    I'm laughing at Samsung for sounding desperate. The most valued companies are Amazon, Apple, and Google. I'll stick to only iPhone or Pixel even though I still have my issues with iOS. But it's smooth and gets updates like macOS which I prefer way more than Windows.

                      Anonymous, 25 Jun 2021Technically apple and Samsung are not competition anymore,s... moreTechnicaly maybe but promoting and selling competitor devices is just plain stupid.
                      LG making many else good things such as TVs and many else usefull household devices, everything is better than selling competition.
                      They have tons fo devices to fill their stores so it would be a lot better idea.

                        They have plenty things to sell.
                        Every little of them is far better than sell Apple and Samsung.

                            The title alone sounds funny 😆

                                  Weird decision but who knows. It can have benefits too.

                                    Amazing, act like an American firm now, fits well in the same store together with Apple... for sure 🙄💸

                                      I'd love to see LG pulling a giant middle finger on Samsung and selling only Huawei/Honor and Xiaomi phones along the iPhones 🤣

                                        Kek, 25 Jun 2021LG made a mistake and should come back, at least in key mar... moreYou're right. LG should try a comeback with good marketing and fair pricing.
                                        The best musicphone of the world is a LG phone which looks like just another clamshell, with nothing music even mentioned on the box, except QuadDAC in the smallest font possible.
                                        Is this marketing??

                                        I wouldn't say South Korean laws would favour Samsung, because that would be unfair to hell. Its LG's store, its their choice.

                                        But think about it:- If a lot of customers want a Samsung phone, won't they check out LG's smart TV and fridge and other gadgets in the same showroom?
                                        Wouldn't LG reap the benefit, as they have nothing in phones anyways?

                                        What about a typical Apple customer spending $1200 on a phone, and then checking out LG's smart TV for just $450?

                                        Let's be positive. I think LG may benefit from this in general...
