    LG has made a smart move. It is very smart to know when to stop trying for something that is no longer giving fruit. Even if there is a fruit, it's quite expensive that the company couldn't bear it. They may come back when the supply chain conditions are favourable.

    Maybe smart but a trend for them of losing in markets. They failed with the home battery market and they failed in the Android cell market.
