Click bait. I think Android is doing fine, Google seems to be on a great path with N and a more solid OS to use daily than my iOS device currently (but I'm sure apple has some tricks coming) Also, they didn't downplay tablet features in N, they added stuff like split screen which is a HUGE improvement. Ahh modern journalism. You'll never believe what he typed! Click the headline to find out... ;) |

"and LG show some of its execs the door after the 'flagship G5 smartphone failed to generate sales.'"
followed by "And it's not because Dell and LG didn't make good hardware."
"And while the LG G5 was expensive, and came with high-priced "friends" (the name LG gave to the modules that attached to the device), it was a flagship device from a company that had the courage to innovate."
But not, as it turns out, necessarily make reliable hardware, and definitely not servicing the problems well when they screw up, which is the true test here. I came that close to buying their previous flagship G4 a few months ago until I noticed that they'd screwed up a connector so the phones would go into a boot loop, and did not handle the repair situation well, like many companies like them.
If I was an LG higher up, beyond firing some executives, I'd be seriously considering either spending the $$$$$$$$ it will take to be world class as a stand alone vendor, shift to OEM mode like the Nexus 5X they build for Google I got instead (Project Fi's discount made that really compelling), or exiting the market altogether, you can't be good at everything.
