Smartphone series by LG Electronics
The
LG G series
was a line of
Android
devices produced by
LG Electronics
. The "G" designation was first introduced in 2012 as a branch of the
LG Optimus series
for flagship devices, but LG announced in July 2013 that the "Optimus" name would be discontinued for future flagships in favor of maintaining "G" and "
Vu
" as distinct brands.
[1]
The first purely G-branded phone, the
LG G2
, was unveiled in August 2013.

[3]
LG's first two smartwatches, the
LG G Watch
and the
LG G Watch R
, were also part of the LG G series. Starting with the
LG Watch Urbane
, LG dropped the "G" branding from the device's name, thus eliminating the watches from the G series.
In April 2020, LG announced that it would discontinue the G branding and return to using distinct brand names for future flagship devices (beginning with the
LG Velvet
), to "resonate with today's consumers and help us to establish a clearer brand identity."

LG has produced a number of smartwatches; however, only a few of them carry the "LG G" branding. For example, the
LG G Watch R
is part of the LG G series, while its successor, the
LG Watch Urbane
, does not carry the "G" branding.
