INNOVATIONS

LG KE850 Prada

LG KE850 Prada was announced in December of 2006 – it was the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen and an all-touch UI.

LG KU990 Viewty

LG KU990 Viewty, the very first smartphone to record slow-motion video.

LG Optimus 3D

LG Optimus 3D was one of the first phones with a dual camera too but The 3D fad died off pretty quickly and makers went back to single camera setups

Optimus 2X

Optimus 2X – it deserves a dose of attention as it was the first smartphone with a dual-core processor. It even got into the Guinness book of world records.

LG Optimus G

LG Optimus G(2012) was the first widely-available phone to feature Qualcomm’s then-new Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset.

LG BL40 New Chocolate

LG BL40 New Chocolate (from 2009) was the first phone to have a screen with an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio.

LG G5

LG G5 may have been the first modular Android phone, after Google’s Project Ara proved to be vaporware. The Magic Slot system was poorly implemented but at least LG wasn’t afraid to try out something new.

LG G Flex

LG G Flex was the first flexible phone in the world, thanks to the P-OLED display and unique LiPo battery, both the first of their kind and developed in-house by LG.

Marketing issues

The first phone with a capacitive touchscreen, and an all-touch UI, is not an iPhone, rather it was an LG. The LG KE850 Prada was released in 2006, a year earlier than the first iPhone. However, due to brilliant marketing, the iPhone stole this spotlight and was credited instead for “innovating” smartphones we know today, and this LG phone remains forgotten.

Takes too long to update

So it seems like LG provides longer support of 3 years.. but many people complain because LG takes too long to update LG’s decision to call it quits in the mobile phone industry is not surprising. The company has a poor track record of providing users with major software updates on time even for their flagship devices. They've actually acknowledged this multiple times and said they would develop a division to speed things up.LG was apparently talking to at least two companies, but the discussions never moved past a certain point, leaving LG in a crisis.

Confusing Naming Scheme

LG’s naming schemes are also confusing, even if you’re technologically inclined, you are going to be confused which phone is which, which one is the “better” or “improved” version in a series (like the K and Q midrangers). A good naming scheme is easy to understand for a non-techie, especially its features and specs, and I believe this is what LG and Sony are lacking.
