LG has released its financial report for Q3 to the public, with the smartphone division of the company once again recording heavy losses. It's hard to pinpoint the faults in LG's business model at the moment but there's no doubt that some re-strategizing has to be done.

The answer is simple. Everyone I know was purchasing LG phones for the removable battery. Now its gone and hopefully LG realizes that it was the best selling point of their phones. If not then they deserve to fail as the quality is poor in comparison to its competitors. If they bring back that feature I know more than 10 people personally that would buy the phones.
