New Delhi: Industry data shows LG has become the world's third largest smartphone maker behind Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics in the $223 billion market. Although it has been a rocky ride for LG, the company has made significant gains in 2012 through its Optimus series. During this time the company focused on the pre-paid and BYO segment with its cheaper L-Series models like the Optimus L5, and tasted success with them. The success continued with devices like the LG Optimus G and Optimus G Pro, and into 2013 with the launch of the stunning LG G2.LG hopes to carry a good run in terms of mobile sales with developments like the LG G Flex, the first smartphone that will come with a flexible display that's virtually indestructible. Analysts say one of the reasons for its success in mid and high-end smartphone market comes through superior hardware and software technologies. Remember, LG is also responsible for the popular, but difficult to obtain, Google Nexus 4. Let us take a look at some good smartphones manufactured by the Korean electronics giant:1.
