Global electronics giant LG Electronics has prepared a growth strategy of launching new devices to boost sales volume for mobile division from the fourth quarter onwards. With a short gap after launching G4, LG has already unveiled V10 smart phone.

The South Korean consumer electronics major is aiming for a larger chunk of market share as it's targeting low-end to mid-range to high-end devices in the mobile phone market. Offering more features in the smartphone range, LG Electronics is selling at lower prices than its competitors.

The South Korean major is also working on mobile payment service also.

LG Electronics has launched V10 smartphone and will begin commercial sales in the South Korean market from 8 October onwards. The new V10 smartphone comes with a small independent secondary screen in addition to 5.7-inch display.

LG Electronics is facing stiff competition from Chinese rivals Xaiomi, Lenovo and Huawei in the low-end to mid-range mobiles segment in addition to global majors Apple and Samsung in the high-end smartphone market.

Few months ago, LG launched G4 and just unveiled V10 smart phone. By launching new devices, LG is hoping to enhance its market share in the global smartphone business.
