The Surprising Reason LG Smartphones Are NOT Making a Comeback 2025

[@BarryJohnson]

Man, I am so glad to hear that these rumors are completely false. Thanks for staying on top of it. When they sold 48 audio and video patents to OPPO back in April LG said NO MAS. LG Fans, OPPO is the truth. Smoother OS and now that they have LG patents. The sky is the limit.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@SavageScientist]

Them scrematics are dope

[@Bob_Squared23]

Don't forget OnePlus. What ends up being successful and liked in Oppo will make its way into OnePlus

[@BarryJohnson]

@Bob_Squared23 I never do. The OnePlus 12 is just a slightly downgraded X7 Ultra which happens to be my favorite slab of all time and the 12 is Eazy's phone of the year. LG fans it's time to embrace the OPPO/OnePlus juggernaut.

[@TuPhonez4Free]

Man you have the US clowns hating on oppo. Don't hate the players hate they game! Oppo got game!

[@semiuusman7272]

You made me bought LG V60 and I'm grateful for that. No other phone is touching LG v60 in that $200 price range i repeat no other phone on earth is beating that price.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Team LG v60!!!!

[@nwananka]

$400 price range either. Only Snapdragon 8 gen 2 devices can compare and they are over $800.

[@BajatheChickenMan]

My v60 is still chugging along but it's seen better days. I'm wondering what day might be it's last charge.

[@TheTechPreacher]

@BajatheChickenMan hopefully many years

[@ggqbc]

Best phone i ever owned

[@Soto-Tech2020]

Yep, I agree. If LG is going to make a comeback it shouldn't be with a rollable. It should be with just 2 phones one mid range and one flagship, 6.5 and 6.7 inches respectively.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah I agree with you. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@lordlopes7777]

Imagine a V70 with Snapdragon 8 elite and a Velvet 3 with Snapdragon 7+ gen 3 or Dimensity 8400.

[@OriginalGacole]

V70 with 6.9 inches

[@lordlopes7777]

@@OriginalGacole Nice

[@DWtechfan]

LG did a lot in the smartphone space before but they weren't on par with Apple, Samsung, or Google. They had innovative ideas but people forget they also had a lot of problems too. That's why they went out of business and I'd be shocked if they ever returned to making phones. There're just too many brands to compete with.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah I agree with you

[@elijah7154]

LG's comeback and dare I say HTC will give consumers a sense of fresh air and added options. No need to reinvent the wheel, old retro features like SD card support, 3.5 jack etc will wake people up.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Ayyy I totally agree with you being back the headphone jack. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@lordlopes7777]

Not only bring back the jack,but bring back the jack with dac. Jack with no dac is a big no.

[@elijah7154]

@@lordlopes7777 Yes most definitely dac, it's been so long w/o it that I completely overlooked it. Good point.

[@lordlopes7777]

@@elijah7154 Yeah,because without a dac/amp inside this will just be good for those easy to drive iem/headphones and the quality will be just bad,which a cheap dongle would fix it.

[@andywong340]

LG huge fan here...LG V60, LG Wing, LG V50S and LG V50 always accompany until now.... Dual Screen is my favourite for daily use.... Thanks for your video, thats inspiring me to have LG series phone until now.

[@TheTechPreacher]

For sure I'm here to help

[@beboyzfamz]

My top list LG : 1) LG Wing 2) LG V30 3) LG G Flex

[@NathanYellowStarProductions]

Currently watching this on my LG G5 right now. I actually loved their phones, i owned like 3 LG phones like the LG G5, LG V20 and LG G3. None of them bootlooped hopefully but the G4 and V10 does bootloop due to their manufacturing defects. Sadly people weren't able to forgive LG after that bootloop fiasco. I've been owning my V20 for more than a year and it never bootlooped.

[@TheTechPreacher]

That's what up thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@ik7921]

I have a LG G8 Thinq and it is still going strong today. If LG releases a new phone, they will have to do 2 things: 1. Make their camera their strongest point (like honor, vivo x200 pro) 2. Market their products extensively and excessively like SAMSUNG, HUAWEI and IPHONE

[@TheTechPreacher]

For sure thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@heroicvision]

I'm here on anything LG. Let's go 🔥

[@TheTechPreacher]

Ayyyyyy thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@Carnyzzle]

Even if LG came back reviewers would still slam their phones until they quit again

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah I believe so

[@NickyMetropolis1313]

And then you're going to see people say My goodness I loved those LG devices they were really trying to be different back in those days I wish we had them back

[@pandevera2244]

funny cos it is true... those hypocrite tech vloggers spitting bad words suddenly "felt" bad when lg pulled the plug... i remember those tech vloggers calling lg's innovation as gimmick and yet give other brands free pass...

[@NickyMetropolis1313]

@@pandevera2244 absolutely. I'm so sick of the snobbery in the tech community. I'm sick of people acting like the only good devices have to be $1,000 and either Samsung or Apple. If you look hard enough you will find very decent so-called mid-range devices that do everything you needed to do and are unique. And you'll find as the tech preacher always tells us older devices that still work and run fine.

[@nick......]

Let's be realistic. The reviewers back then had valid arguments. Take v60 as example. The price wasn't nice, and you could buy ROG2 with more storage at that time. Also, the OS wasn't optimized and smooth when it was first on the market. I'm also using v60 as spare phone. The OS is great and smooth now after many updates, but it's too late.

[@Tigerex966]

Someone needs to shake up the lack of innovation. Lg needs proper software support for years not days if they come back. They had the hardware, but not the software support of say Samsung Apple etc.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah

[@excalibur2596]

All LG needs to succeed is a strong advertising campaign and reasonable pricing on their phones to compete. People just aren't comfortable spending as much money on LG as Samsung, even though LG phones were better than Samsung.

[@TheTechPreacher]

For sure I totally agree with you

[@j.toddwatkins9471]

Based on your recommendation, I bought the LG Wing in 2021. It is my favorite phone ever. I am still using it today. The LG Flex is my second favorite. I will keep the Wing as long as it will last. I also have the Z Fold 4, which is my third favorite phone. Please keep us updated. I have purchased phones based on your recommendation for a long time. That will continue. Thanks for all you do.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Congratulations to you I absolutely love the LG Wing it will always be my top 3 phones

[@chaitanyamore8786]

Just bought.lg v50 will deliver in few days cant wait

Nice team LG

[@TheTimo5494]

I have my two lg phones still and going strong idgaf what nobody says

[@TheTechPreacher]

Ayyyyy that's what I'm talking about I'm still rocking LG v60 as a daily driver

[@supasage8131]

I've seen a couple patents relating to LG phones tech but I think they're selling them off to companies like Motorola. They could comeback but I don't think they will.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah I'm with you on this

[@kdog350]

I've had so many people ask me about my V60. I feel like LG should have stuck it out a bit more and heavily marketed them as alternatives to foldables. Oh well!

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah I'm still rocking my LG v60. Team LG ride or die!!!

[@garret765]

I only see them coming back as a partnership if anything. Maybe Microsoft brings out a smartphone with android on it to link with the copilot pcs.

[@TheTechPreacher]

I hope so but we need LG only no partnership definitely not with Microsoft look at the surface program that was horrible

[@SicErikTech]

I keep seeing the LG Velvet 2 Pro on eBay that I really want to get. But I can't 😢

[@TheTechPreacher]

This is the only time I wish TP was wrong, but like Bruce Springsteen says, "God have mercy on a man who doubts what he's sure of". Keep us on the right path TP, even if we would want otherwise...

[@TheTechPreacher]

I hope I'm wrong and LG comes back

[@marvoinfo]

I think if they just release a midrange V60/Velvet dual screen phone at a decent price they would cut into the folding phone market. I still don’t understand why you don’t see a case maker with an hdmi or wireless second screen case for current androids. Would be easy money if dex or Motorola wireless display compatible. I kept my old lg phones for the ir blaster to use as tv remotes. 😀

[@TheTechPreacher]

Hahahhahaha

[@hyth84]

That's because their software team has been focused on WebOS for TVs these past few years. If they were to start with a tablet and chromebook-style laptop then I could see them making a foldable again but they have to bring forward innovation and leverage the apps they already have on their TVs.

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah 👍

[@abdullahzafar4401]

I'm still holding on to G8 but mayne I'll upgrade to Vivo x200 pro The competetion is finally catching up, x200 have log recording and LUT Colorprofiles , I don't know if it's on HDE or not(G8 does it hn HDR) but still ... Such a Shame maan , I WISH LG Came Back

[@TheTechPreacher]

LG G8 is a great phone

[@pandevera2244]

i will say it again... if lg continued, they'll end up like everybody else... and if lg ever come back, picking up their "supposed to be" last flagship - lg velvet 2 pro, that would be a bad come back... they should look into lg v60 and work up from there... ... a continuation from v60 (call it velvet, but do not scrap features from v60) a continuation of explorer project - yes, i would like to see the rollable (or stretchable, since they already have display tech to do it)

[@TheTechPreacher]

Yeah I agree with you. Thanks for watching I really appreciate your insight

[@IVMZR]

If rollable happens I hope they make widescreen roll into imax size

[@TheTechPreacher]

I know right

[@richardlopez4563]

I had to replace my V60. It was a sad day. Turned in it for $1000 off of a S24 Ultra

[@TheTechPreacher]

Always remember you can get another LG v60 for under 250 bucks with no problem so all is not lost. Congratulations on your galaxy s24 ultra

[@richardlopez4563]

@TheTechPreacher continuing charging issues with the V60 is why I moved away from a other V60. First the charging port and then problems wirelessly charging with a case on the phone. Otherwise I would've bought a used V60

[@marlonjenkins7447]

If LG came back with a LG V70 with a built in s pen, quad dac 2.0, IR blaster, 100 watt fast charging, and a better Dex like feature, it would blow the competition away. To hell with the rollable. Too much money and risk for them if they trying to come back. Just give us a V70! Wishful thinking but wouldn't it be nice?

[@TheTechPreacher]

Wow That's what I'm talking about. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@lordlopes7777]

Quad Dac 2.0 would be crazy,because they just need to make it more powerful,have manual gain mode and 100 steps of volume,which the og one doesn't,sad we are never going to see this.

@@TheTechPreacher I heard, LG sell screen technology (IPS & its OLÉD) to 75% phone manufactures in the world. So, even though LG left the phone industry, LG still making profits, even bigger now. . That's why They're not fall into bankruptcy without selling phones.
