LG G series

Short description: Smartphone series by LG Electronics

The LG G series was a line of Android devices produced by LG Electronics. The "G" designation was first introduced in 2012 as a branch of the LG Optimus series for flagship devices, but LG announced in July 2013 that the "Optimus" name would be discontinued for future flagships in favor of maintaining "G" and "Vu" as distinct brands.[1] The first purely G-branded phone, the LG G2, was unveiled in August 2013.[2][3]

Type| Smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets

LG's first two smartwatches, the LG G Watch and the LG G Watch R, were also part of the LG G series. Starting with the LG Watch Urbane, LG dropped the "G" branding from the device's name, thus eliminating the watches from the G series.

In April 2020, LG announced that it would discontinue the G branding and return to using distinct brand names for future flagship devices (beginning with the LG Velvet), to "resonate with today's consumers and help us to establish a clearer brand identity."[4]

## Notes

1. ↑ The LG Stylus 2 is the first and, as of late 2018, the last smartphone with a built-in DAB+ digital radio. Only specific regional variants, such as the K520K (Australia) and K520EMW (Europe), included DAB+ hardware and software support. Other variants (e.g., VS835, K520Y, and K535) do not include DAB+ functionality.
