South Korean Ryu Hyun-soo describes himself as an "LG phone maniac" and says he won't give up his LG smartphones even though the company that makes them is getting out of the business.

LG Electronics Inc said this month it would wind down its smartphone division by the end of July because of a prolonged sales slump.

Ryu, 53, who has collected nearly 90 devices over 23 years, said he started using LG phones because he liked their design and creative functions, but the audio quality made him fall in love with them.
