LG has no plans to release the V10 in Canada
July 14, 2025
LGhas been making some major news in the past week; let’s try to recount some of it: Acanceled Urbane 2, aflagship campaign, amajor management restructuring, anew mobile processor, and even amassive monetary investment.
The news we are now reporting on however, is sure to sound somber to some. LG Canada, via a reply on Facebook, has now confirmed that the newV10will not be released in the country.
Here is the original post that userJason Schablerasked LG Canada:
And here is the reply:
What to think…
While this news will no doubt disappoint those, like Mr Schabler, who were holding out in hope, do note that there have been times in the past when social media teams have posted inaccurate information. One such example, earlier this year, saw a Sony Twitter account proclaimingonly Z-series devices would be updated to Lollipop, something that was quickly rendered inaccurate as other lettered models began to receive it.
Still, given that this is theonlyofficial answer that has been given from LG about the matter, it should be taken as the company’s official stance until proven otherwise.

…and why to think it
Released last month, theLG V10packs some of the same advanced hardware seen in the spring’s G4, but adds in new features like a metal frame along the sides of the device and a secondary ticker display. It is also extremely resistant to damage from drops, as wefound out first hand. Given that it’s the company’s secondary flagship of the year, and in some wayshigher than the G lineitself, one might think a glorified global roll-out would be a proper priority.
While this is just speculation, it’s quite possible that the phone has not been faring as favorably as some might have foreseen. Reports had already came out of Korea shortly after launch there that suggested this was happening. Perhaps more telling though, LG itself has not released any PR statements to make prominent proclamations of people purchasing the product. The restructuring details alluded to at the opening of this piece would further this belief, as sales of the phone are arguably not significant enough as to calm the nerves of the smartphone segment’s performance and viability.
What do you think about this news? Are our Canadian readers upset by it? Were you planning to get the V10, or had you already set your sights on something else? For that matter, are customers inothercountries bothered by this development, given that Samsung also decided todeny availability of one of its most proper productsto an entire part of the world’s population?
Perhaps the larger, looming and lingering question though: for those in Canada who wanted the device, will you now take to importing it if you haven’t done so already?
