LG’s departure from the mobile industry leaves a void that many will seek to fill, but innovation and boldness will certainly be difficult to fill, to say the least.
With many users still wondering what will happen to their LG mobile phones, and the South Korean manufacturer confirms that it will continue to support updates and warranties for all products sold by LG Mobile that have now expired, the deal goes ahead The industry is looking for new jugadores to take the place of a giant like LG which will be quite difficult to replace.
And yes, my friends LG’s departure is not good news at alllet alone us users who were left without one of the manufacturers who took the most risks with their devices (perhaps sometimes too many). offer differentiated and attractive options they have been overshadowed by South Korea practically all the time, especially for the users, who perhaps better than anyone else wanted to differentiate themselves by being in direct competition with Samsung.
Be that as it may, people like me will remember the follies of LG and its most iconic devices, with melancolia, but also a market that partly thanked them for their prudence with positive reviews that never translated into good sales.
LG Mobile already has a history in the móvil industry, although the South Korean manufacturer will be greatly missed for its ability to innovate with devices like the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Flex, the modular LG G5 or Wing LG, always differentiators and often pioneers . .
Who will replace LG in the mobile market?
Definitive Many manufacturers are already wringing their hands after the departure of LGwho have retained a good share of the market in certain markets, although they are, for example, consultants counterpoint research the, the They expect who cánido win and who cánido lose with the void left by the South Korean company.
That’s what LG officials said in Spain the profit margins would not be offered by the mobile phone industry that a giant like LG had to protect its continuity, especially where focus on more productive businesses for them it would probably be a fairer and more positive decision in the medium term.
Many may think so Chinese manufacturers are then called upon to occupy LG’s sitealthough the truth is that this Analysis that requires a break and a more conscientious visión that we now want to offer you.
LG mobile sales in the United States, a 9% share that is not owned.
As you will see in a representative market like the United States, LG retained a very impressive 9% stake.and 58% of cell phones were sold for less than $150, and It will be here in the case of OPPO, Motorola, HMD and Xiaomi you have your oportunidad.
37% of LG’s market was between $150 and $500, so here it is Samsung will be able to entrar the scene with its best mid-range performanceleft it to themselves, Apple and Xiaomi’s premium phones of choice that 5% of cell phones last over $500 still sold by LG.
Whatever the case, we cannot ignore it the continuous decline registered by LG in recent years that were undeniable and prompted the South Korean leadership to do so divert all of its resources to more productive markets for them after examining the sale of the mobile communications subsidiary, which ultimately did not materialize.
This is how LG Mobile has changed in recent years.
The guys at LG will be missed, especially the R&D team!
Numbers up or numbers down, that’s the truth LG will be sorely missed in the móvil industryand it is that the manufacturer is based in Seoul We couldn’t ask for much more at least in terms of courage and innovation.
He perro be blamed for many wrong decisions, perhaps also wrong pricing policies and even wrong decisions that sometimes it is superfluous to differentiate oneself from Samsungbut we all have to admit that LG’s many years as a phone maker have been fruitful in terms of innovationbold and innovative technologies.
Unsurprisingly, LG has been a pioneer many times, oh the first móvil with an autostereoscopic 3D screen that paved the way for the Nintendo 3DS, LG Optimus 3D, more prominently than anything else, and later joined that family of impressive experiments with another LG icon, G Flex, with a curved panel and a back with a powerful Nano. -Coating for self-repair of small micro-marks and scratches.
LG always has a different iniciativa when it comes to mobile design, from 3D screens, curved panels, self-healing backs, modular cases and always avant-garde options that we undoubtedly miss.
It wasn’t the only experiment LG has picked up the Project ARA glove with his LG G5 and his modular Friends, just trying out an attractive leather back for his LG G4 for the first time and about to start designing full view that nobody had back then with the innovative LG G6 and its 21:9 format.
There was more, and that means that LG also tested the dual screen in the LG V ThinQ family, born to bring the greatest avant-garde exponent of LG, and later Hi-Fi sound with quad DACs controlador tested.
Let’s see if any manufacturer is willing to embrace the boldness left behind by LG, because at this point we don’t see anyone with the imagination South Koreans have always prided themselves on.
His last big project hovered around the accessory screens, with the LG G8x being the one accessory dual screen as an alternative to screensThoughts that later gave way to the manufacturer’s latest great craze in the form of the LG Wing, which will be on sale until the summer, and so on a sliding system that gives way to a double screen in “T” shape.
If there was a maxim at LG, then it was one Innovation is not negotiated in a tough industry that has kept giants like HTC from standing still and in this case leading the way LG will leave us with a vacuum that will be difficult to fillcertainly not in the number of devices or the number of options, but is in research and development, cutting edge and magic that nobody wants to keep up.
Serve as an epilogue… Thanks for everything LG, we will miss you!
