The following year, the South Korean company LG Electronics plans to increase the volume of orders for the release of the smartphone.
According to sources, this year LG has renewed its partnership with Taiwanese ODM-producers.

According to sources, 30% ODM-orders from LG in 2015 will fall to the share of Arima Communications, and 70% - the share of Sony Mobile Communications.
