Earlier this month we reported on sales numbers that indicated LG had only sold 2.3 million LG G2 smartphones since its launch in August, missing a target of 3 million units that LG had established. A new report from Korean news site Yonhap News indicates LG may have met their target after all. As part of the total units sold, Yonhap News indicates 900,000 units were shipped just in South Korea, which is a healthy increase from the previously reported 600,000 unit number.
Analysts believe LG will post an operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 partially due to the increased marketing costs LG incurred on the G2. It is unclear what the impact of sales of the Nexus 5, produced by LG, may be. The LG G2 has been recognized as one of 2013′s better devices, but it still seems to struggle to compete with high end Samsung devices for market share. That does not bode well for LG which will really need a strong showing from the LG G3 in 2014.
