how LG made the smartphone great

LG made the decision on Monday that it will no longer be active in the smartphone market. Nevertheless, LG has ensured that the smartphone is equipped with useful functions and innovations in recent years.

LG: how the smartphone got big

To begin; we are going to sincerely miss LG. The company announced this on Monday it withdraws from the smartphone market. Nevertheless, we have to say that the manufacturer also screwed it up a bit. For years, signals came from all over the world that update policy needed much more attention. That let LG lose a lot. Waiting months (sometimes a year) longer for an Android OS update, and always waiting to see when a security update would become available. But despite this negative point, the manufacturer has also brought a lot of good things.

The innovations we see nowadays with smartphones can be called quite minimal. Here and there some improvements in the design and the camera, but there were real innovations years ago. And LG has provided several innovations that have made the smartphone even better today.

In our section ‘The forgotten smartphone‘we have already covered LG devices several times, and in the coming period we will also look back on smartphones released by the Korean manufacturer. On Monday, LG announced that it is withdrawing from the smartphone market for good. In this article, we look back at the memorable devices released by LG in recent years. Consider, for example, the LG Shine, LG Chocolate and the transparent one LG Crystal.

In 2006 LG released the LG KE850 Prada from. This was the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen.

LG Viewty KU990

A year later, in 2007, LG released the LG KU990 Viewty from. It was the manufacturer’s first device that could make slow-motion videos, albeit with a resolution of 320p at 120 frames per second. With the Viewty series, the focus was placed on the camera.
