LG Shines in Smartphone Market

LG Electronics performed well in the domestic and overseas smartphone markets, selling more than 120,000 Optimus 3D smartphones in the month since the model was released here through SK Telecom, a spokesman said on Monday.

It sold a total of 6.2 million smartphones around the world in the second quarter, up 590 percent on-year, according to the market survey agency Strategy Analytics.

LG did well thanks to its wide range of models from the entry-level Optimus 1 to the high-end Optimus 2X, industry insiders speculated.
