LG attempts smartphone comeback with focus on tech

15.02.2011

The success of LG's Optimus One smartphone was one bright spot for the company last year, according to IDC, and sales of other smartphones appear strong. LG said its Optimus Black, a thin, light Android smartphone with a 4-inch display that can be read in any lighting situation, has already garnered 2 million pre-orders since it was unveiled in early January.

Analysts believe LG will need several similar smartphone hits this year to regain its lost luster.
