In order to boost up sales in smartphone business, LG recently said that they were planning to launch launch 20 sets of Google Android smartphones by the end of this year. I supposed those include the 5 handsets previously announced, LG GW 620, LG Optimus GT540, LG Ally for Verizon, LG Optimus QLU2300 and LG SU2300. So, at least there will be 15 more handsets at the rest of this year.
According to the source, the operating profits of LG’s mobile communication unit dropped to 0.9 percent in the first three months of 2010 compare to 6.7 percent a year ago. The Chief Financial Officer has admitted that LG needs “some more time” for a turnaround in its smartphone department, which probably means the lack of preparedness.
Currently the LG smartphones has already shipped to United States via Verizon Wireless. They also plan to introduce more Android phones to Middle East region.
