دوران طلایی ال جی به لطف G3 : فروش 16.8 میلیون دستگاه اسمارت فون

Although LG hasn’t unpacked the numbers for individual phones, it seems LG’s latest flagship the G3, which went on sale this summer, is a catalyst for these record sales. We summed up our review of the G3 as “finally giving LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung”, and it looks like we were spot on. We’re less impressed with the watered-down G2 Mini and new LG G3 S, but their bargain price tags will probably keep sales ticking along.

With Samsung expected to announce lacklustre results this week, it looks like LG is making a comeback in the crowded market of Android manufacturers.
LG’s total revenue for the third quarter was $14.5 billion. Outside the mobile device division, sales of LG’s LCD TV sales were up. Discussing the results, LG said 4K TVs would drive sales in future, and also suggested it would start producing quantum dot TVs next year.

Meanwhile profits were slower in the appliances part of the business, and the air conditioning unit actually made a loss thanks to the weather in Korea.
