Are the smartphone divisions of Motorola, LG and Sony still operating at a loss? I wonder how long these companies will continue to throw money at a market they seemingly can't compete in.
- laumars 13y agoSince Motorola is now owned by Google, I can't see them pulling out any time soon.
- kryptiskt 13y agoMotorola are losing much money right now, they are rolling the dice on the Moto X launch that's coming up. Google will make a huge marketing push for that one. LG, Sony and HTC are making modest amounts of money on phones. HTC has nosedived to that level and the other two have turned around losses to be there. They need to do better, but they have little reason to pack it in.

They're still profitable, but for how long? If they don't engineer a turnaround, they'll be solidly in the red a year from now. At that point, they have plenty of reasons to pack it in.
- wtetzner 13y agoIt's unfortunate, because I've owned the HTC 8x, and now the HTC One Google Play Edition. These are both some of the nicest phones I've used/seen.
