We asked, you told us: Most of you think LG shouldn’t sell its mobile unit
June 22, 2025
LG’s mobile business has been a shadow of its former self for a while now, although the company is still capable of delivering great flagships like theLG V60and unique form factors like theLG Wing.
Phones like these might not be enough to turn the smartphone unit’s business around though, and we’ve now heard numerous rumors that a sale or other drastic move is being considered. So that got us wondering whetherAndroid Authorityreaders think LG should sell this business unit.
Should LG sell its smartphone business?
Weposed this questionon August 09, 2025, and 1,512 votes were tallied as of writing. The results show that just over 60% of respondents are against the idea of LG selling its smartphone business. Some users think LG should focus on specific segments, beef up their marketing, and/or expand availability instead.
It’s easy to see why readers would vote against a sale, as the firm has made solid flagships for a while now, while its marketing budget has been dwarfed by the likes of Samsung for years too. We’ve also seen devices like the LG Wing and itsupcoming rollable, showing that the firm is still thinking outside the box.
Meanwhile, just under 40% think the Korean company should indeed sell off its smartphone business. This is a pretty understandable choice too, given that the mobile division has seen losses for over 20 consecutive quarters. At this point, we wouldn’t blame LG if it decided to get out of the game.
