LG shutting down smartphone business: Here’s a look at iconic LG phones

LG G Flex was introduced in 2013, and the company called it the first 'real' flexible phone in the world. The curved device can be bent out of shape or can lay flat onto a desk, thanks to its P-OLED display and unique LiPo battery. This features a 6-inch screen and uses "self-healing" technology. LG said this coating on the back of the phone would help get rid of scratches within minutes.

The LG G5 was launched back in 2016 and was labelled as one of the best flagship phones. With this handset, LG took a fresh approach to devices by offering a unique modular design. The company introduced a new way to access the battery by sliding out the module. It was one of the first phones to offer a great dual-camera setup, including an ultra-wide sensor. You will now find wide-angle cameras on a budget phone as well. The device offered a compact 5.3-inch IPS LCD screen with great contrast and vibrant colours. The company also launched accessories like LG Cam Plus, a camera module, which also expanded the total battery capacity to 4,000mAh.

LG took a bold step by launching the Wing 5G smartphone with two displays that can swivel. The device was launched back in October 2020. The flagship phone features LG's proprietary software that brings a Swivel mode, so that one can use the main screen interface in landscape mode as well as interact with the secondary screen simultaneously. It offers a triple rear camera setup is equipped with a hexa-motion stabiliser and supports a Gimbal Motion Camera feature that lets you control the camera angles of the dual ultra-wide-angle lenses using a virtual touchpad visible on the secondary screen.

LG G8X ThinQ with detachable dual-screen case is yet another exceptional product from LG. The company has always tried to experiment with something different and has also made it work. You can use one of the screens to play games and the other one can be used as a gamepad. LG smartly bundles a dual-screen accessory. This allows you to use the device as a game controller, a mini-laptop, and a stand or in a tent mode. It can also lay flat at 180 degrees. One can also fold the case take a call. LG bundles a magnetic connector as well which can be used to charge the device while using the Dual Screen case.

The company's Nexus 4 smartphone in partnership with Google, offered flagship features at an affordable price point. The brand then launched another flagship killer Nexus 5X, which was one of the best phones from LG and Google with great processing power and a neat, smooth Android experience. It is worth noting that the Nexus 4 was the first Android phone to come with support for Qi wireless charging.
