Either LG does not see the Indian market as one of their important markets or the team which takes care of the strategies at LG India is doing a pretty poor job of devising launch strategies for India in the smartphone game. LG has some real good products with them as top of the line smartphones but India seems to get them when their next version comes in. LG has quietly introduced the LG Optimus G in India at a price of Rs. 30,990 when the LG Optimus G Pro has already been announced.
The only thing LG seems to have done in the correct manner this time is that they have priced it right. The SIII just got itself a price cut and is retailing for around Rs.29,000 and the HTC One X can also be bought for a similar price. The only thing that might make people shy away from this real good smartphone is the fact that LG has had a poor track record of updating their smartphones with the latest software. If someone is spending such a large chunk of money for their smartphone, they expect to be treated well but LG does not really do that.
