LG plans to sell 140 million mobile phones worldwide in 2010, up 20 percent from 2009. The company plans to unveil about 20 smartphones running Android, Windows Mobile and Linux to help achieve the business goal. LG will focus on producing easy-to-use smartphones aimed squarely at first-time owners before moving into premium handsets with cutting-edge designs later in the year. Through these efforts the company is confident it can introduce its first 10-million-unit smartphone sometime this year.
“We are facing another revolutionary change in the mobile industry thanks to the rapid growth of smartphones and demand for more content and better services,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We will continue to make breakthroughs in 2010 as we strive to maintain our trendsetter status and become one of the global top two by 2012.”
LG is currently the world number three for mobile phones after Nokia and Samsung.
