LG builds solid phones high, mid and entry level. Just visited their stand, I was amazed by the quality of phones they have presently. Here is Nairaland, people only talk infinix, Tecno, injoor, Samsung, Why little or no interest in LG phone?

The good phones they manufacture is high end phones which is not affordable for most people but when you talk about mid and entry phones, they build crappy stuffs and you dont expect much people to buy it in large amount and when thats the case, no one will talk about it... Thats the case with LG Products..

Samsung is the least innovative smartphone company ever, they just keep rolling out the same thing over and over.

Personally I prefer HTC, Sony or LG to Samsung any day any time.

Samsung is like windows pc after using it for a short period it starts acting like they tied olumo rock to the ram, battery becomes poor, very hard to tweak to ur liking unless you buy a flash box the when it falls u start hoping the noise u heard is not from ur phone.

Their phones are way too expensive for an average nigerian to afford. LG is in the same league with Samsung, Htc, Sony, iphone, Motorola e.t.c In advanced countries where the GDP are higher, LG phones are very popular. E.g the G3 and G4 are still hot in the market in North America and are sold as premium phones by telecom operators.

LG produced the world's first curved smartphone, i.e the LG G flex.

LG makes good and durable phones but then their marketing is kinda below average. That's why phones like LG G Gro , G pro 2, Flex, G2, G3
, G4 didn't enjoy massive patronage. Even the most recent G5 (though ugly) is not doing very well in the market.

If you brought it brand new, you would be covered by one year warranty. If you didn't buy it new, or customer-damaged, rooted or out of warranty, then you would be charged for parts and cost of repair. Same is obtainable with all high end phones i.e samsung, iphone, htc e.t.c.
Note that the 30k you were charged is less than $100, hence It still boils down to the fact that high end phones are not suitable for a country with low gdp like nigeria except you are very rich. That is why companies like tecno and infinix are the big players in the nigerian market cos they make affordable phones.
Re: Why Is it That No One Is Talking About LG Phones by Nobody: 10:03am On Aug 05, 2016
Their phones are way beyond what an average Nigerian can afford. They should emulate other phone makers like Samsung, Tecno, Lenovo that seems to have phones for every segment of the society.

LOL. Samsung didn't catapult themselves to where they are today, it was hard work, determination and risk taking that took them to where they are right now. Samsung phones have good build quality, software just got better and they invented the phablet with the galaxy note... And u still think they are not innovative? Till date there is no phablet that is as sophisticated as the galaxy note.

Have u ever used an lg phone? I bet u haven't. They have good hardware but software is where they have problem. They try so much to put everything in their phones but the software just lacks that something special, meanwhile Samsung just perfected their software. LG took a risk with the g5 but unable to break the market because the hardware is a hit or miss, they should let Motorola teach them how to make modular phones with the moto Z force. The G4 was also a hit and miss with the leather back, again poor software. Galaxy s7 edge is a far better phone in terms of design and performance than the g5.

And don't even put Sony against Samsung... Can u tell me a major innovation Sony has made in the smartphone world?at least the s7 edge has a curved screen, better camera, hear rate monitor, wireless charging, support for gear vr, etc. What has Sony got? Their flagship phone is sony xperia x performance with 3gb of ram, 1080p display (when s7 has qhd), ips when Samsung uses amoled. Sony phones have nothing against Samsung phones dude.

Only htc has actually done well this year with the htc 10 and that is the only phone from the big oems that can match the galaxy s7 edge. But the note series are on another level.

Are you saying amoled is better than ips?

Both of them have their strong and weak points. But amoled panels are more vibrant and better under direct sunlight. It comes to personal preference whether u want saturated colors that pop or true colors that are duller.

Sony z5 premium is the worlds 1st 4k phone with an amazing 801ppi. That is innovation. Sony has not released a flagship phone this year, but there are speculations about a z6 coming later this year.

With respect to LG software, i see nothing wrong with it. I used a samsung s6 for a week when i sent my LG G3 in for repairs under warranty, and i hated the software(s) on the samsung. Software is of personal preference. I haven't seen a better software on a smartphone than the one on an LG, but that is my personal preference.

Samsung s7 edge's design looks finer compared to the g5 cos of the curved screen, but the s7 edge is also higher in price. The price you pay for the glass body and curved screen.lol


Check out the pictures below and judge for yourself which phone has the best camera.

If you want deep blacks, vibrant colors, and great battery life, AMOLED is the panel you’ll probably be most happy with.
If you want bright whites, daylight readability, natural colours and sharp text and images, IPS is likely a better fit.

AMOLED display panels are highly degradable, they suffer burn-in.

And where did the 4k display leave Sony? The xperia z5 premium was a failure. The question is: what is the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium’s ultra-high resolution display good for? And is it worth valuing over the 3D Touch of the iPhone 6S Plus or the curve of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+? I don't think so.

The truth is the phone displays at 1080p most of the times and only displays at 4k when u watch a 4k video with the inbuilt video player. Now how many people would actually have a 4k movie on their phones? A 2 hrs true 1080p movie will take like 6gb. A 2hrs 4k movie will take around 4 times that space,so we are looking at 20gb plus for a full 2 hrs 4k movie. Abeg how many 4k movies can u carry on a phone? U are better off watching it on blu ray.

Can u see the 4k on display? Nope. The homepage runs on 1080p (not even qhd). The 4k is just a marketing gimmick. What's the point of 4k when it doesn't even display on the homepage? That is not innovation if u ask me. The curved screen of the s6 edge is still s better innovation. Nothing still beats the s pen on the galaxy note, Samsung started the split screen and pop of videos .. that is true innovation.

And talking about the g3, I used it for about a year before it got stolen. It's a great phone no doubt, it has a lot of features (Q memo being on of my favorite features), but the phone suffers from memory management and it stutters sometimes. I struggled to keep up to 3 apps in memory without the app reloading.
