Hasta La Gadget!

With MWC 2014 taking place next month, it is that time of the year where many smartphone manufacturers prepare to launch new flagship devices, and while the Samsung Galaxy S5 is probably one of the more highly anticipated devices for 2014, the LG G3 could be thought of as a close second. After all with the LG G2’s powerful hardware and generally positive reviews from 2013, many are excited to see what LG can bring to the table in 2014. That being said, below is the roundup of rumors about the handset that we have come across so far. (more…)

So we know that according to LG, there is an LG G Pro 2 which will be the successor to last year’s LG G Pro, the South Korean company’s answer to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3. That being said while we do know of the device’s existence, its specs and how it actually looks like remains something of a mystery, at least until recently where a pair of alleged LG G Pro 2 photos was leaked and made their way onto the internet, courtesy of a post on the DC Inside forum in South Korea. The photos aren’t much to look at and for all we know could have been easily photoshopped, but until proven otherwise, we’ll assume, with a degree of skepticism, that these are indeed photos of the upcoming handset.

If you have been on the lookout for the LG G Flex, then you would be pleased to take note that the smartphone is already available via AT&T, not too soon after its pre-orders went live last week. Of course, as for our friends who happen to live across the pond, you need not fret, since the LG G Flex is tipped to arrive at over 20 different countries in Europe. T-Mobile users will have to be a little bit more patient though since their LG G Flex will only arrive next month, clearly giving AT&T a head start among the rest of the major mobile carriers in the market.

When it comes to smartphones, both Samsung and LG are probably the two biggest names out of South Korea, although it would seem that Samsung has the edge. However back in Q3 2013, LG appeared to be doing quite well and actually reported a profit of 43 billion won, which is roughly $39.7 million when converted, however the South Korean company could not maintain those profits and saw Q4 2013 take a loss where they reported an operating loss of 56 billion won, which is around $51.7 million after conversion.

This is a bit odd given that LG had actually sold more phones than they did last year, where they managed to sell 13.2 million phones in the quarter which was about 54% higher than the same period back in 2012, and a gain of 8.3% from Q3 2013, so how can LG sell more phones but make a loss? There are many factors one has to take into consideration, although in LG’s case, it seems that they ended up spending more than they made.

According to their report, LG had actually spent a fair amount of money marketing phones like the LG G2 and the LG G Flex which ended up negating that amount of phones actually sold. Will LG make the same mistake this quarter? We certainly hope not.
