Speaking in Korean LG exewcutives confirmed that it has no intentions to make another Windows Phone handset in the near future, but will continue to evaluate the platform through its R&D platform.
According to the Korea Herald, LG said: “The total unit of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure,” with no more plans to bring out another LG-monikered handset on Microsoft’s platform.
