An unnamed LG mole has told the Korea Times the company plans to sell 6million smartphones around the world this year, and that 4.2m of those will be running Android. LG is betting the farm and associated outbuildings on Android, basically.
Here’s a quote from the insider:
“We can’t exactly predict the market. But one thing clear is LG is heavily betting on Google’s Android operating system. The number of Android phones will be more than earlier expected”
And here’s a random LG image. The best thing about mentioning LG is having an entirely legitimate excuse to browse the LG image archives.
You’d better hurry up and release something a little more impressive than the bloody LG Optimus in Europe then, LG, if you want to get anywhere near hitting that target.

HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
