LG is not for sale: The company would prefer to close its mobile division
Earlier this year, the company’s leaders let their employees know that they did not rule out the decision to close the mobile division, after several years in a row reporting economic losses.
The company itself had already decided to cancel all launches of new smartphones throughout the first half of 2021 while waiting to decide what to do with the division focused on telephony.
Among the canceled projects was the LG Rollable, a smartphone with a rollable screen shown during the CES show in Las Vegas held in January.
Sources tell that we will not have to wait too long to know the final decision of the South Korean giant. Apparently, in early April, it should communicate to its employees the strategy to follow, and if the LG mobile division remains alive, or closes its doors indefinitely.
