He also shared his own experience with the brand. He mentioned that one of his first smartphone review was that of a LG phone. Marques added that even though LG has come out with many interesting and risk taking features every year, they put little to no extra effort at marketing these phones. He explained that LG have not cracked the smartphone naming game. Their software experience wasn’t as good as expected either. The phones did not receive software update regularly.
