South Korea's LG has no plans to release its flagship G6 smartphone in China, the largest smartphone market on the planet. Last year, the firm's devices only accounted for 0.1% of sales in the South Korean smartphone market, according to Strategy Analytics data. The disappointing figure has been attributed to the popularity of China's domestic smartphone makers, such as Xiaomi and Vivo. However, LG sales in the US are rising and it is now the third largest smartphone vendor in the country, with a 15.5% market share, up from 14.9% in 2015.
