Poll: Do you think LG should sell its smartphone division?
June 01, 2025
We don’t need to rehashLG‘s well-known struggles in the smartphone industry. The company’s been floundering for years now losing revenue, dropping market share, and shedding consumer trust. This week, a memo stemming from the company’s top brass suggested that it’s exploring “all possibilities” for its mobile division. This has led to rumors of asell-offto another smartphone firm.
While this eventuality isn’t something LG would want, it might be a valid option. Selling all or part of the company’s mobile division would allow it to focus on particular market segments. LG’s strategy seemingly reflects this notion, too. It already outsources the manufacturing of itsbudget mobilesto other firms. This has let the company build more adventurous flagships, including theLG Wingand to-be-confirmedLG Rollable.
Arguably, for a company as established as LG, a sale to a competitor shouldn’t be an option. The company remains a force in the US market, and while it seems like a distant memory it has produced a slew of excellent mobiles in the past. Fundamentally, it’s still possible for it to regain its former glory.
