LG is getting out of the mobile phone business
I never understood why Samsung phones were constantly receiving praise by tech reviewers while LG got crapped on.<p>Samsung always wanted to do things their way -- different (shitty) UI, Samsung versions of all the core Google apps (but worse), reorganizing preferences for no reason, the stupid bottom button placement, non-remappable Bixby button, aggressively killing apps for power management and breaking widgets, etc.<p>LG always seemed a lot closer to stock Android, and was good at staying out of your way.<p>I had a Samsung Galaxy S4, then an LG G5, and now an LG V35. I hated the S4 and loved  the G5 and V35. My fiance had an LG V20, and now has a Samsung Galaxy S20+ and feels similarly -- loved the V20, is super annoyed by stupid Samsung software quirks, even on this latest model.<p>Do people actually like all those Samsung annoyances? Why is Samsung considered the flagship of flagships? Build quality beyond the V30 is basically identical.
