LG has announced the official opening of the LG Friends Online Portal. This will help third-party developers promote their products and expand LG’s mobile ecosystem.
According to LG, the Friends Online Portal will initially open for business in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and South Korea. More will be added with time.
Once opened, third-party developers will be able to promote their products through the use of LG’s Friends Online Portal. There will also be a discussion page for anyone wanting to learn more about the company’s modular devices like the LG G5. The portal will also help users find nearby locations where they can handle LG Friend products in person.
LG believes this is a breakthrough in the industry and that it provides endless opportunities to expand its mobile ecosystem. This is LG’s top priority for the years ahead. They are looking forward to seeing the great products developers create and can’t wait to see where the technology goes in the future.

LONDON, 18th April, 2016 — LG Electronics (LG) announced the opening of the LG Friends Online Portal (www.LGFriends.com) in the next phase to expand its open mobile ecosystem.
