Whackcar, 16 Apr 2023Man i miss LG Mobile. Probably the most innovative & ri... moreLG was selling near 40 million phones/tablets per year.

Problem was majority of them were sub $200 and revenue was not enough to cover money invested.
LG Mobile was losing over $1 billion/year.

LG Mobile did not want to take some measures like Htc and Sony to survive.
Their fault.

    got it last week...
    got smoother...
    media player as seen on lockscreen now shows "wavy" lines on played part... when playing...
    fingerprint sensor got faster, i guess it is because of animation - generally, transition has smoother animation and quick... last time, it was quick but not that smooth, it felt like frames were dropped...
    good thing, no overhaul, as i am already comfortable with the ux...
    and i find the "running in the background" notification a good addition - i am aware that the "doctor" app is running in the background 😂... so i can shut it off from there... still has to observe more changes...

      Dunte, 16 Apr 2023LG should reconsider smartphone manufacturing. They were ve... morethat's impossible...consumers only remembers bootloop errors and OS update delays.....it's a shame....

        I really miss LG smartphones...the only company who dares to launch unique phones designs (very few success but at least they tried) in a world full of same old fashioned designs flooding the market...

        it's a shame consumers didn't take the LG's vision more seriously...now the market is dominated again by same old fasioned boxes due to "blinded consumers" that does not care about wasting their money and keep buying phones from brands with no soul....

          you have to suffer, 16 Apr 2023Keep that up by yourselfWhatever, the market reality is on my side.
          LG failed and died. End of story.

            I already received the update earlier this week, and it has been a solid improvement. The Gallery app, which used to take ages to load up in Android 12, now opens instantaneously. I also got better battery life with better SoT on the latest Android version, both under single-screen and dual-screen use. I'm also impressed with the Snapdragon 765G SoC performance under heavy loads during gaming. The only thing I haven't tried yet is the AES stylus since I don't have one in my hands.

                rizki1, 16 Apr 2023Do you know the phone you said is $100 with $1000? For $100... moreMeanwhile, most Xiaomi phones under $500 still not getting OS update. Just because there's new MIUI update doesn't mean the OS version is also updated.

Phone was a crap, bad futures, limited software, everything was medicore. LG was never a good brand, was not even close to the names of Nokia, HTC, Qtek, Siemens, blackberry, Sony Ericsson. I will not miss LG at all. It was a time to left the mobile industry.

                              LG Wing with a flagship SoC + 120hz display would be one helluva phone that I'd wanna have.

                                LG should reconsider smartphone manufacturing. They were very innovative

                                  Man i miss LG Mobile. Probably the most innovative & risk-taking smartphone company out there. They released some of the most awesome phones in the last decade. They really shouldn't have quit the smartphone industry due to recent faltering sales...

                                  I hope they'll eventually reenter the smartphone space with some iconic new products.

                                    Wing is one of the more collectable LG phones nowdays, for obvious reasons.

                                    Second would be the EU version of the V60, which is much more uncommon than the US one (last really common one in EU was the V40)

                                    G8S to a lesser degree is also a desirable phone in some EU countries, it was cheap and now goes often for under 100 euro in good shape (which for a IP rated phone, with a good 3,5mm jack, microsd, 3 cameras (main, ultrawide and telephoto), SD855 and a OLED screen, is a solid deal)

                                    Considering the G8S got Android 12 at the end of 2022, that did surprise me as it was my old phone, now used for emulation and as a music player.

                                      People that complain about the update speed don't gwt the point.

                                      LG didn't have to update these phones, they would all have one Android update less than planned, yet LG gave each of them a extra update, they didn't have to.

                                      Also Moto Edge 30 Ultra is few months old and Android 13 is finally rolling out on it, and people complain about LG being slow, while they could abandon the updates after leaving the smartphone market.

                                        PMKLR3m, 16 Apr 2023Wow that's slow [but not as slow as redmi 12] (It... moreDo you know the phone you said is $100 with $1000? For $1000 this phone is very late.

                                        I'm not sure about you, Redmi 12 is not out yet, you mean Note 12?
