LG's official website announced that LG Electronics will terminate the LG mobile phone software upgrade, update center, and LG Bridge (PC tool) services on June 30, 2025. After the service is terminated, LG will not provide software upgrades. If necessary, please upgrade the software before termination on June 30, 2025.This means that LG mobile phones in the hands of consumers no longer enjoy software upgrades and related service support, and it also means that LG mobile phones have completely bid farewell to the market.
Previously in April 2021, LG Electronics announced that it would completely stop producing and selling mobile phones on July 31, 2021.Officials said that "exiting the extremely competitive mobile phone industry is part of the group's strategy." The company can focus its superior resources on growth areas, such as electric vehicle parts, smart homes, robots, artificial intelligence and other fields.
As a veteran in the mobile phone industry, LG has also had its moments of glory. In 2008, LG became the third largest mobile phone brand in the world, with annual shipments reaching 100.7 million units, second only to Nokia and Samsung. The previously launched chocolate mobile phone KG90 was even more popular, with nearly 600,000 units sold in China within one year of its launch.
However, starting from the second quarter of 2015, LG's mobile phone business entered a state of loss. As losses continued to increase, the giant had no choice but to withdraw and bid farewell to the mobile phone industry.
