It was found that more people use the camera function on their smartphones than they make voice calls.
According to a survey conducted by LG Electronics targeting 1,000 smartphone users aged 20 to 44 residing in Korea and the United States, 87% of respondents answered that they use the smartphone camera function at least once a week. More people used the camera than those who used voice calls (81.6%) or social media (80.3%) via their smartphones.

In addition, Korean smartphone users answered that they take the most photos of travel and food with their smartphone cameras. In particular, 65% of respondents in Korea said they take photos of food, which is about three times higher than the United States (23%). In contrast, the United States had a high proportion of 'family' and 'selfie' photos. 81.3% of U.S. smartphone users answered that they take selfies, while the figure for Korea was 66%.

On the other hand, it was found that a majority of respondents in both Korea and the United States were dissatisfied with the photos they took. Respondents stated that they were dissatisfied when the photos were shaky or blurry (68.5%) and when they could not capture a wide landscape as seen with the naked eye (62.8%). Additionally, more than half of the respondents revealed that they blamed themselves for their lack of photography skills.
Finally, 83% of respondents wanted a smartphone camera that could capture the same subject from a wider variety of angles. 52.2% wanted a camera that could capture both the subject and the background in a single photo, and 65% said they wanted the image quality not to deteriorate even when zooming in on the subject.

This survey was conducted online (multiple responses allowed) for 5 days from September 3 to 7, 2018, targeting 1,000 men and women aged 20 to 44 residing in South Korea and the United States (500 people each in Korea and the United States). The margin of error is 95%, and the confidence level is ±3.1%.
Meanwhile, on the 27th, LG Electronics posted a design introduction video for its second-half flagship smartphone, the 'LG V40 ThinQ,' which features enhanced camera capabilities, on social media platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. The LG V40 ThinQ is scheduled to be unveiled on the 4th of next month.
