LG launches smartphone Optimusone target sales 10 million

Beijing time September 14 Evening news, according to foreign media reports, LG Electronics released the new smartphone Optimus One, the target sales of 10 million.　　The handset will be sold through around 120 mobile operators worldwide, trying to reverse the loss of LG's handset division. LG's smartphone sales never broke through 1 million units.　　The company believes the mobile phone, which uses Google's Android system, will help LG move towards recovery.　　LG lost money in the quarter as it failed to bring in a powerful smartphone product line to rival rivals such as Apple's iphone and HTC Evo. "We want Optimus one's sales to reach millions, and to that end, about 500 engineers from LG and Google have worked together since the end of last year."　　LG said in a Tuesday statement.　　The company will also release a new product line with Windows Phone 7 operating system in the four quarter, hoping to save LG's reputation with the new machine. But investors are worried that new product lines may come too late and are lacking in novelty.　　By then, competitors will be releasing a lot of new products to prepare for the crucial year-end holiday sales.　　UBS last week forecast a further increase in the losses in LG's handset sector this quarter and will continue into the two quarter next year.　　Samsung announced this month that its smartphone sales will exceed its previous 18 million targets, to 25 million, thanks to the popularity of Android handsets. Samsung Galaxy S has sold more than 3 million units since it was released in June.　　and 25 million of the total sales of smart machines ranked four globally, after Nokia, rim and Apple. "We plan to introduce a complete Scott Ann product line from low-end to high-end by the end of the year and promote it vigorously," Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Mobile, said in a statement. LG says Optimus One has a 3.2-inch full touch screen that will be available for sale in 90 countries in October. (Yan Fei)
