Yeah, and even Samsung aside from their foldables, has become quite stale. Mocking the competitors removing certain feature all while too quickly follow the suit anyways. They have become more expensive either. True the hardware polish have improved and OneUI is I think the best thing Samsung could do software wise, gone are the old bloated TouchWiz. But now there is less contender in the smartphone space that are willing to experiment. If you think about it, Sony is also only the Japanese smartphone brand exist in the international market. Sure, domestically there are more and South Korea might have some few unknown domestic players as well. But it felt like the market has become more homogeneous, except more Chinese brands have become better and already filling up the space. At least they are making some experiments on their phones, all while not charging too much. I kinda wish though some would tone down with their too iOS-like UI skins.
Ive never heard of Pantech. What were they like. I'm going to miss Android having multiple companies competing. Samsung would be exactly like Apple given the chance.

They where actually just called "GoldStar" here in the west in the beginning😋 I had a TV from them many years ago. But many people confuse their slogan to be the name. "LG" means "Lucky GoldStar" while "Life's Good" is just their slogan.
@@Oystein87 Yes, I know! They were founded as the Lak Hui Chemical Industrial Company in 1947. "Lak Hui" is pronounced as "lucky" in Korean. In 1958 they founded GoldStar Co. Ltd., another company strictly for plastics products. Then in 1983, the two companies merged to form Lucky-GoldStar. In 1995 the merged company was renamed to LG Corporation, and the tagline "Life's Good" (from the company's initials) first started being used by them.

Dude same, I understand they lost quite a few customers with the G4/G5 bootloop crisis, but having owned devices since the V30, I found all of them refreshingly solid, sad their final flagship, the rainbow, never got to make its way to store shelves
lg g3 g4 v10 with their bootloop issue was the only thing which made me leave the brand my last before that i bought almost all of their phones including phones which was a shape and size of passport
One of my favorite phones of all time is the LG V20 ... The Sound on it was beautiful! Sadly I lost it that phone! I think I will buy it again (for time sake.) I have the V60 and I was Supremely disappointed when I found the sound and the sound application to be a step back! May LG Smartphone division R. I. P
"Windows Phone's failure as a platform is a story for another time" I would REALLY love to see a video on that! (Personally, I hated the Windows Phone OS)
Windows Mobile - specifically W10M - is still my favorite handset OS ever developed. As poor as the app support was, the software was a dream and the phones themselves were either super interesting (in the case of the Lumia 1020) or beasts for their time (the Lumia 1520 and the 950 phones). The modern OS duopoly is awful.
I loved window phone, i used my 950xl till up until recently. it feels like it didnt age with the software still feeling new and snappy even compared with the new high end Android phones. I miss the fluidity of the ui, it felt just right to me.
@@rezaF_ Yes, i.e if you buy a Sony, Panasonic, Philips etc OLED TV it has a LG display in it. But that's a different department. This is only about their phones.
Watching this makes me sad. This was one of the few companies that gave me hope for a more competitive smartphone market. With less competition innovation in smartphones outside of foldables will be nonexistant. 😔But like you said let it be a lesson to all those new companies. You hear me one plus!
@@GoogleDoesEvil I feel like Microsoft knows that they shouldn't really experiment. With how they failed in the phone business, and most of their software being used is used in business and schools. I think they'd rather stay in the background.
The second that Samsung became the “defacto” android brand after the galaxy S7 and note success, LG had to tread carefully. Unfortunately they seemed to have ideas too bold for the tech of the time. Rip LG i will miss you buddy.
Fir me it was all the software issues. Nobody want to drop a load if money and have meh software or as I experienced boot loop madness and they did nothing for me so I went to Samsung and I was glad I did.
@@wj427 Same. Always preferred LG's design and hardware features, it was one of my favorite OEMs. Too bad everything was poorly executed. Phones had bad software and manufacturing defects. My Nexus 5X, for example, had an incredible camera for the price, a great fingerprint sensor and was always updated, giving it was a Nexus phone. But it went into that bootloop madness after a year! I lost all my money in a single year! My previous Nexus 5 was a great, good-loking phone with poor battery life and camera. The G series and the Velvet were some of the best-looking phones around, the V series had incredible phones with no compromisses. LG did great audio and video, too! But one couldn't risk buying an LG phone with no software support and no assurance that the hardware was gonna last for years, sadly.
2015 and the Snapdragon 808 sealed a lot of phone makers fates. LG, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, even Sony, all tripped and died as a result of Qualcomm's miserable, half hearted efforts. That's not all that went wrong but it definitely helped rush them all to their timely or untimely ends
@@mandioca3210 it's difficult to talk trash about LG when you're talking about an ancient Nexus 5. LG has released numerous devices ever since. Nobody is talking about the Note 7 exploding yet still to this day people say "LG bootloop" when it's a thing of the past, if you tried to use the device yourself instead of listening to these scum tech reviewer that bash LG and now make fake "you'll be missed" videos.
This shows that there is not much room left for innovation in smartphone market nowadays. The companies with conservative mindset and good software integration are thriving only
This hurts. Suddenly feels like a friend is leaving being sad :( LG was trying man. Trying hard with the innovation and all. I really wish they bounce back somehow and do it right with the things they got wrong, combined with the crazy innovation and all. I really want to see them win one more time. Damn. Good luck, LG.
Lg 's phone are incomplete. Some lag ram, some looked outdated, some software outdated...and poor PR and mkting. I love them but the less knowledgeable people go samsung, apple or cheap chinese brands
We can't deny that LG was the first manufacturer that really went against the grain as far as phone design and innovation goes. RIP and yes I still miss my LG Choco back in the day
This gave me goosebumps literally, i still own the LG Wing btw and i have no plans of switching anytime soon, I'm happy and satisfied with it not to mention that it's still a head turner when you wing it in public, I'm surprised really that alot of people still don't know that much about the LG Wing.
@@myworldkungano-anolang2158 I lost my v20 in a subway. That was one of the saddest day of my life it was my first smartphone.....before that I was using a Samsung flip phone..
Fun fact: the first review I've ever seen of Michael was his review of the Flex 1 on my Flex 1. I felt your disappointment when it's sequel didn't live up to your expectations. Thanks for this awesome tribute, Michael!
My first video from Michael was his review of the LG G Flex 2, on my G Flex 2. By far one of my most favorite phones that I’ve had the pleasure of owning, before it started to boot loop and I switched to the iPhone 8+. Sucks to see LG leave the mobile market.
@Mandie Shumway one plus, vivo, ippo all under BBK, also Motorola is lenovo, and lenovo is making other phone brands as well. And do not forget, huawei still works where Google influences are far and beyond
@Mandie Shumway Uh, no. The S20FE cost OnePlus a large market share when it was released. The current top market shares are Samsung and Apple, in both sales and handsets. There's a reason why Apple and Samsung can still sell when they take things off their phones (Samsung temoed expandable storage and the charging brick from the S21 lineup, yet it broke pre-order records).
I'll always miss LG. The G6 and V20 were amazing phones and surprisingly the latter was easy to repair when I needed it to be. One of my first phones was a flip phone of theirs from cingular wireless and I felt so cool having it. That was the thing about LG; you FELT cool having one. Even if no one else thought so. It made you feel special. Good times. Even now, in 2022, I still wish we had a sequel to the Wing.
Awesome work brother. I'm still hanging on to my V40 for the QUAD-DAC and surprisingly crisp display. I use it as a dedicated music device where I can keep high-res music files for enjoyment.
Got a LG velvet a few months ago. It's truly a amazing phone. Great specs and a amazing screen. Being one of lgs last phones I plan to run it as long as I can. Was a huge LG fan keyboard phones.
I feel your pain, I'm watching this on my v60 been using lg since the roll out of the v20, I think marketing screwed them badly because most audiophiles who want a decent experience on a phone use lg.
@@swadeshpatra9264 this video made me realize right when they got innovative again they got canned it hurts but this video made me realize I'm not the only one who likes or loves LG's phones, which I thought I was always alone lol
Sony also does it. Xperia 1mk2 and Xperia 5mk2 both have headphone jacks and even a camera button to boot. The new X1/5 will also have the headphone jack as well.
I was very close to getting a V20, but I never did (I stuck to my Nexus 5). The V-series really appealed to me in the beginning. I was surprised that it never took hold. Maybe it was the lack of marketing...
I am personally sad about this as I had an LG phone from 2007- 2012 as they were the only ones I could afford it helped me out a lot 😔 R.I.P life was good 👍
All great things must come to a end. But the memories we maid with LG will always be remembered. LG was there for us as we grew up and helped us in so many ways. We will always remember you LG. R.I.P.
I also worked for LG for 6 years and been to Seoul Gasan digital for an year. My heart is broken with this news. Sad indeed. Marketing team is the one to blame. I miss LG Mobile for my life. Hope they come back.
Let's buy every LG Wing for sale because it is the last and greatest LG phone. And it will be a collectible in 20 years time, when the only phones you can buy is Samsung or iPhone.
I loved naming schemes of old and recent LG phones; Chocolate, Shine, Secret, Crystal, Viewty, Arena, Cookies, Ice Cream, Prada, Explorer, Voyager, Quantum, Optimus, Tribute, Signature, Velvet, Wing, Rainbow... LG, I will miss you dearly...
I still love that LG g3 that I got all those years ago. That was the first time I ever realized a love for smartphones. I used it until it never turned on again.
@@davidcazares7441 I used it too it was one of the first phones with a 1440p display and back then that was the early stages of high end smartphone displays I think that's why it got hot and the processor too.
I've always been a fond of LG phones my first being the Vu that had an antenna and my last was the V20 before permanently switching to Samsung. The V20's 24 bit DAC was my favorite next to the wide angle camera. I will surely miss LG and their quirky phones.
I've been saying this for years I have been a staunch LG user yeah I've used other phones but primarily for the past several years I use LG phones I also remember using the LG Envy I remember everyone had that phone.. But like I remember thinking the last few years that I really hope LG totally revamps their marketing department because that was one of its big issues it had I understand it wasn't it's only issue but it definitely was one of its big issues and I don't understand how a company like LG couldn't see that.. I mean the truth is LG could have kept going and definitely because they make enough money to support their phone division on their other stuff they sell.. So I thought two or three years ago I was like LG needs to go away for a year or two revamp everything and their phone department and come back blow everyone away push this sh*t out of a amazing phone you know spend the money on getting well known celebs and influencers to use the phone so their fans will want to buy it. I don't know they were doing what's best for them and I understand that but in my opinion I think that would have been an awesome move because personally as an LG user I don't update my phone every year it's usually every two years and that's a common thing with LG users is a lot of us it's every two years before we switch to a new phone which I understand a phone company to compete in the market need to come out with a brand new phone every year but the big thing is that LG users don't upgrade to new phones every year they're not like iPhone and Samsung users that soon as a new phone drops they get immediately. Like I got the Lg v30 and then I upgraded to the G7 and then I went from the G7 to the v60 was one of the few LG phones I got relatively soon as after it was released but by that point it was almost 2 years since I upgraded my phone and I look on Verizon and if you look on Verizon's website now like Samsung's newest phones have terrible reviews same thing with iPhone Samsung users are pissed that Samsung is doing more stuff that iPhone is doing and they are angry because the reason they like Samsung is because it's not a iPhone replica.. but I remember seeing such good reviews on the V60 and it also had a free dual screen attachment as a free with purchase and even now it has a 4.3 or 4.5 review rating on Verizon compared to a big chunk of the other phones.. Yeah I appreciate it that Verizon kept there headphone jack and a lot of smartphone users and people who reviewed on understood why LG did that because they had amazing headphone jack technology and I knew that they could yeah but with how much hate Samsung got for taking away the headphone jack even after seeing how much hate iPhone users got I don't know why they did it I mean yeah I get why they did it to make more room and to put more stuff in it and to make the phone slimmer but a good chunk of reviews on Samsung's newer phones is that there's no headphone jack among other things that they don't like about it and I understand yeah people have their issues with LG I get it but it's an amazing phone I wish it wasn't going away especially after the LG Wing came out I thought okay this is a crazy phone and that's why I like LG because it took crazy chances and made these crazy phones that yeah I weren't always well received and that's why I kind of always stuck with them because it wasn't like Samsung and iPhone where it was like here's our newest song with just this and this added pretty much the exact same phone you have but it's a newer version soooo pay us $1,300.. Rip LG you definitely were a game changer thank you for the amazing years.. Now when I need to upgrade to a new phone and a year or so I got to figure out which phone I'm going with I'm not an iPhone person and I'm not really a Samsung person either I've tried both those phones and I don't like them so I don't know but we shall see hahaha Anyways that was my big long rant lol And everything I stated was just my personal opinion if you own a Samsung or an iPhone and you love it that's great you do you. Lol
What I loved about LG is that they tried different things, they dared to be different which I applaud them for that. RIP LG mobile, gone but not forgotten.
Going to miss Lg phones so much. I bought a V60 (upgrading from my G7) when I heard they were pulling out of the mobile market just so I could run with their arguably best phone for as long as possible.
I did exactly the same and naive enough for me my purchase was an homage to their continuos innovation, I regret not having done that before. Always vote with your wallets peeps
I've got the G6 right now, and looking to upgrade to the V60 It's arguably the best phone I can picture for myself, it has so many features I'll actually use and it's cheap enough now that it's feasible to get a relatively new flagship phone without having to sell a kidney
Great video, thanks for the memories. Been strictly using LG phones going way back. Really going to miss the simple UI, beautiful screens, cool unique features, incredible cameras and the amazing DACs. Still currently using unlocked unbranded and rooted G7. Tearfully sent from my G7, RIP.
This seems like Michael's funeral speech for LG He was a good guy. Did alot of good things. Influenced alot of people. But in the end things turned out be not as good. May he rest in peace.
What a phenomenal video. A lot of big truths in this. I'm looking forward to the LG Chocolate video. I had the Voyager when it was in it's prime. THAT was a great phone along with the chocolate. Everyone in my school district had it. Only a select few had iPhones at the time.
I have to confess that one of the phones that I most enjoy was an LG. Now I have and iPhone 13 mini, ( I don’t like big phones) but iPhone is like having a Toyota, it is a good product, works well but it lacks of character kills me. There is not excitement. Good but not fun. I have been looking for a new phone different and fun. If you have any sugestión let me know.
Man! you are not a TH-cam reviewer, you are an artist. And this coming from a guy who is polar opposite of being a fan of any one person in particular. Kudos to great work. Keep it up 👍
I remember being on the playground when the LG chocolate was the "it" phone, "she's got an LG chocolate" this, "I'm getting an LG chocolate for my birthday" that - I wasn't into tech as much back then so I was just thinking "huh must taste pretty good". Really was my first taste of phones not only being something you'd want to carry, but a fashion choice in itself. So they've stuck around in my mind for that.
First your video editing and acting is brilliant. Second RIP my LG Envy. Best phone I ever owned. I used to exclusively buy LG phones after I switched from Apple. They were great until around the V30+ I started to notice just a horrendous level of bloatware and slowdowns overtime. Now I'm Samsung think of switching to the fold or going back to apple. I too am a little burned out over phones and feel Apple is the easy choice.
When my LG V10 bootlooped for the second time, I vowed to never buy any LG product ever again. I had to suffer so much at my school and work for weeks without a back up phone to check important phone call, email, and messages. What pissed me off most is that their customer service tried blame me for using non LG branded charger. Not sure how using a charger could cause a sould cause software glitch instead of causing hardware problem.
Lumia 950 XL here, the first ever phone with a heatpipe. The only phone I ever had that killed its battery in a single year. Just a few days after the one year mark (battery warranty), the phone started shutting off at 60 - 80 percent. Eventually I bought Mugen's 9300 mAh monster. Still works but I only use it a few times per year to boot WoA.
I had the LG gflex 2, it was consistently shutting down, it was freezing while using the camera and getting really hot and I literally got not a single software update while using it for two years. But I still loved it while it was working properly, and it had a really beautiful screen and amazing design.
Sony should take advantage of this. The only brand left that still has a headphone jack, sd card slot, no ugly notch or dead pixel, and bypass charging
Very true. They need to learn how to actually market their phone's strengths. If they can manage that, they win over LG's former customers. If they don't, maybe Asus will pick up the slack.
Thankfully Motorola has kept a headphone jack on some of their phones. They should also take advantage of being one of the few companies not forcing their customers to buy wireless earbuds, which are cool and all, but I have an unfortunate history with batteries. The less I have to remember to charge, the better.
What I love about Mr. Mobile’s content is its holistic approach to tech. Part historical documentary, part parable, this was a fitting tribute to a tech giant exiting an increasingly monolithic industry.
still hits hard. the G2 was my favorite phone i've ever owned. so fun and ahead of the curve for what it was. they dared to be different while everyone else just stayed with the status quo.
This sort of reminds me of the loss of Jibo, only LG is a far larger company. I still feel sad knowing that another player in this competitive segment is now gone even though I've never owned an LG device.
The only techtuber out there telling beautiful stories instead of relentlessly boring unboxings and bland reviews...he doesn't need to shout to get his point across, or incorporate giveaway gimmicks, or run scams to sell products of his own. This man has turned tech youtubing into an art form.
For kind of information lg phones are innovative but people want to buy a phone which are good in performance so the other tech reviewer only unbox those phone which can be recommended to a large number of people.

I didn't know that's what LG meant
They where actually just called "GoldStar" here in the west in the beginning😋 I had a TV from them many years ago.
But many people confuse their slogan to be the name.
"LG" means "Lucky GoldStar" while "Life's Good" is just their slogan.
@@Oystein87 I had a vcr of theirs for ages
@@Oystein87 Yes, I know! They were founded as the Lak Hui Chemical Industrial Company in 1947. "Lak Hui" is pronounced as "lucky" in Korean. In 1958 they founded GoldStar Co. Ltd., another company strictly for plastics products. Then in 1983, the two companies merged to form Lucky-GoldStar. In 1995 the merged company was renamed to LG Corporation, and the tagline "Life's Good" (from the company's initials) first started being used by them.

I would REALLY love to see a video on that!
(Personally, I hated the Windows Phone OS)
Windows Mobile - specifically W10M - is still my favorite handset OS ever developed. As poor as the app support was, the software was a dream and the phones themselves were either super interesting (in the case of the Lumia 1020) or beasts for their time (the Lumia 1520 and the 950 phones). The modern OS duopoly is awful.
Me and my (still working) Lumia 925, 830, and 1020 definitely agree.
Same here. I'm one of those stubborn windows phone users who stayed until the last day
Never had Windows phone, but it looked gorgeous with those Nokia phones

The second that Samsung became the “defacto” android brand after the galaxy S7 and note success, LG had to tread carefully. Unfortunately they seemed to have ideas too bold for the tech of the time. Rip LG i will miss you buddy.

@@wj427 Same. Always preferred LG's design and hardware features, it was one of my favorite OEMs. Too bad everything was poorly executed. Phones had bad software and manufacturing defects. My Nexus 5X, for example, had an incredible camera for the price, a great fingerprint sensor and was always updated, giving it was a Nexus phone. But it went into that bootloop madness after a year! I lost all my money in a single year! My previous Nexus 5 was a great, good-loking phone with poor battery life and camera. The G series and the Velvet were some of the best-looking phones around, the V series had incredible phones with no compromisses. LG did great audio and video, too! But one couldn't risk buying an LG phone with no software support and no assurance that the hardware was gonna last for years, sadly.
2015 and the Snapdragon 808 sealed a lot of phone makers fates. LG, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, even Sony, all tripped and died as a result of Qualcomm's miserable, half hearted efforts. That's not all that went wrong but it definitely helped rush them all to their timely or untimely ends

I've been saying this for years I have been a staunch LG user yeah I've used other phones but primarily for the past several years I use LG phones I also remember using the LG Envy I remember everyone had that phone..
But like I remember thinking the last few years that I really hope LG totally revamps their marketing department because that was one of its big issues it had I understand it wasn't it's only issue but it definitely was one of its big issues and I don't understand how a company like LG couldn't see that..
I mean the truth is LG could have kept going and definitely because they make enough money to support their phone division on their other stuff they sell..
So I thought two or three years ago I was like LG needs to go away for a year or two revamp everything and their phone department and come back blow everyone away push this sh*t out of a amazing phone you know spend the money on getting well known celebs and influencers to use the phone so their fans will want to buy it.
I don't know they were doing what's best for them and I understand that but in my opinion I think that would have been an awesome move because personally as an LG user I don't update my phone every year it's usually every two years and that's a common thing with LG users is a lot of us it's every two years before we switch to a new phone which I understand a phone company to compete in the market need to come out with a brand new phone every year but the big thing is that LG users don't upgrade to new phones every year they're not like iPhone and Samsung users that soon as a new phone drops they get immediately.
Like I got the Lg v30 and then I upgraded to the G7 and then I went from the G7 to the v60 was one of the few LG phones I got relatively soon as after it was released but by that point it was almost 2 years since I upgraded my phone and I look on Verizon and if you look on Verizon's website now like Samsung's newest phones have terrible reviews same thing with iPhone Samsung users are pissed that Samsung is doing more stuff that iPhone is doing and they are angry because the reason they like Samsung is because it's not a iPhone replica.. but I remember seeing such good reviews on the V60 and it also had a free dual screen attachment as a free with purchase and even now it has a 4.3 or 4.5 review rating on Verizon compared to a big chunk of the other phones..
Yeah I appreciate it that Verizon kept there headphone jack and a lot of smartphone users and people who reviewed on understood why LG did that because they had amazing headphone jack technology and I knew that they could yeah but with how much hate Samsung got for taking away the headphone jack even after seeing how much hate iPhone users got I don't know why they did it I mean yeah I get why they did it to make more room and to put more stuff in it and to make the phone slimmer but a good chunk of reviews on Samsung's newer phones is that there's no headphone jack among other things that they don't like about it and I understand yeah people have their issues with LG I get it but it's an amazing phone I wish it wasn't going away especially after the LG Wing came out I thought okay this is a crazy phone and that's why I like LG because it took crazy chances and made these crazy phones that yeah I weren't always well received and that's why I kind of always stuck with them because it wasn't like Samsung and iPhone where it was like here's our newest song with just this and this added pretty much the exact same phone you have but it's a newer version soooo pay us $1,300..
Rip LG you definitely were a game changer thank you for the amazing years..
Now when I need to upgrade to a new phone and a year or so I got to figure out which phone I'm going with I'm not an iPhone person and I'm not really a Samsung person either I've tried both those phones and I don't like them so I don't know but we shall see hahaha

Sony should take advantage of this. The only brand left that still has a headphone jack, sd card slot, no ugly notch or dead pixel, and bypass charging
Very true. They need to learn how to actually market their phone's strengths. If they can manage that, they win over LG's former customers. If they don't, maybe Asus will pick up the slack.
Sony actually makes a profit too, just need to fit a better dac.
Thankfully Motorola has kept a headphone jack on some of their phones. They should also take advantage of being one of the few companies not forcing their customers to buy wireless earbuds, which are cool and all, but I have an unfortunate history with batteries. The less I have to remember to charge, the better.

I still hace my g4 stylus, what a little giant of a phone
Protect it and never give it up
I loved my G5 back in the day plus the they always had the best ultra wide…..
I still have my G5 lying on table
Their ultrawide lenses got worse with each phone though.
@@xPandamon They got better actually. The jump from the g5 to g6 was big, though they made their cameras less wide.
The only techtuber out there telling beautiful stories instead of relentlessly boring unboxings and bland reviews...he doesn't need to shout to get his point across, or incorporate giveaway gimmicks, or run scams to sell products of his own.
This man has turned tech youtubing into an art form.
The shade.... lol
For kind of information lg phones are innovative but people want to buy a phone which are good in performance so the other tech reviewer only unbox those phone which can be recommended to a large number of people.
G6 is still the only Android phone with Dolby Vision support 😞 , I'm swearly gonna miss LG ❤
What is Dolby Vision?
@@FroyourHistory It's the most Advanced HDR video format till date , Dolby Vision videos look just phenomenal , on a display that supports Dolby Vision
HDR content on Netflix was something to look at and it so obviously looked waay better that other phones .
@@used_user Hmm , G6 is the only one supported by netflix and are you sure ... ?
@@used_user I've seen it v30 has it according to them but they also mentioned dolby vision for g7 and g8 but recently tgey corrected it , it was a mistake .
My guess v30 don't have it but not so sur
@@used_user Althought v30 could record log format videos , It's like raw photo capture for video , It's mostly used by professionals to create very high quality content , no other phone can record in log format .
Also see the jerry rig v30 teardown to see the dslt like lens of v30
We lost one of the quirky and innovative brands.

I have memories with LG phones. I had an LG V20 when I took my first trip to Ellis Island and took tons of pictures while I was there. I always had an LG phone in my pocket for every MCU movie I saw in the theater. I had an LG V40 when I saw Avengers: Endgame on opening night in a packed theater. I loved LG phones and it's sad to see the end of them. RIP
I've had the G4 and currently still use my V2O. Been using it for about 4 years now. I'm sad that the next time I get a new phone, it won't be an LG...
My first phone was an LG Optimus of some kind, and my first nice phone was an LG G3. Currently rocking an LG G8, and my next phone is going to be an LG G8X. I've had LG phones in my pocket for a long time, and I've disliked almost every non-LG phone I've used.
Fs in the chat for the LeGend.
I hope someday they will return and we will be ready.
*_LG will always be forever my first and favorite phone. Lots of companies have already stolen the LG technology and have been implementing it into their devices. LG devices have completely revolutionizing the smart form platform, from the Thin-Q series, to the OLED screens..._*
*-RIP LG-* Will be missed. Now they are revolutionizing the television platform LOL I actually did pick up a LG Thin Q 2 years ago, and my new Samsung A21 is crap in software and screen display compared to the LG LOL
Watching this on my LG G7. Still love this phone in 2020.
Same
Still love in 2021 expt Battery life😁
Same
Down bad but rip LG
Sans
The g3 was hands down one of my favorites devices I ever had. RIP LG mobile
And the g4, just a beautiful device.
Watching this on my V30+, still holds up straight on the face of big timers today. Sad they are leaving.
Loved my V20 - such a beast and still works today because I can replace the batteries...
@@Phrancis5 But it would still work today even if you could not replace the battery🤷♂️
But FYI: All phones can get battery replacements.. But not all can be done by you at home without risking to break the backside..😝
4:21 This is the moment I learned you can wake up a phone that way.
See, Samsung grew out of their "throw it all at the wall and see what sticks" phase with like the S3-S5 era. LG never did, and it probably hurt them in the end. (As cool as it was to innovate)
The LG G2 and G3 era was epic, I'll never forget that!
So long my friend LG , You will be missed. Long live Mr. Mobile and plz subscribe he deserves it......👏👏👏👏👏
Watching in my v50. I think my first one was the Optimus L3,I still miss that phone sometimes
Will always be grateful they kept the headphone jack
RIP
LG
You were innovative and cool. And everyone just wanted identical glass slabs.
