LG was once one of the biggest players in the Android space, but the company’s success over the past few years has dwindled away because, frankly, a lot of the phones the company was putting out didn’t really matter.

Will you buy an LG V60 now that the headphone jack is dead everywhere else? [Poll]
It’s 2020 and the headphone jack has basically died every death it could.
