Muva nje, imibiko ibilokhu izulazula yokuthi i-LG icabanga ukuthengisa isigaba sayo sama-smartphone esibangela ukulahlekelwa iminyaka eminingana. Muva nje, umdondoshiya wangaphambili we-smartphone bekufanele adayisele i-VinGroup yaseVietnam lesi sigaba, kodwa amaqembu awazange afinyelele isivumelwano. Manje, ngokusho kweBloomberg, kubukeka sengathi inkampani inqume ukuvala lolu phiko.
Ngokwemininingwane engekho emthethweni, "isivumelwano" ne-VinGroup enkulu asiphumelelanga ngoba i-LG kudingeke ukuthi ibuze inani eliphezulu kakhulu lokwehlukaniswa okubangela ukulahlekelwa. I-LG kuthiwa iphinde yamisa izinhlelo zayo zokwethula wonke ama-smartphones amasha (okuhlanganisa nocingo lwe-LG Rollable concept) engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka. Ngamanye amazwi, uma kubhekwa ukuthi inkampani ayikamtholi umthengi ofanelekile walesi sigaba, kubonakala ingenakho enye indlela ngaphandle kokuyivala.
Ibhizinisi le-smartphone ye-giant yezobuchwepheshe yaseNingizimu Korea liye lakhiqiza ukulahlekelwa okuqhubekayo kusukela engxenyeni yesibili ka-2015. Kusukela engxenyeni yokugcina yonyaka odlule, ukulahlekelwa kwaba yi-5 trillion enqotshiwe (cishe imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-97).
Uma ngabe ukuhlukaniswa kuzovalwa, abathathu bokuqala (ngemuva kwe-Samsung ne-Nokia) bazoshiya imakethe ye-smartphone, futhi ngokuqinisekile bekuyoba amahloni hhayi kubalandeli balo mkhiqizo kuphela. Kunoma yikuphi, i-LG ayikwazanga ukubamba ukuqala kwabakhiqizi baseShayina abadla inyama, futhi naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi ikhiphe amafoni amahle (futhi ngokuvamile emisha) emakethe, kwakunganele emqhudelwaneni onzima kakhulu.
