A bit weird to see LG in the charts (given that they're out of the smartphone industry now) and yet none of the other big manufacturers (Xiaomi, Huawei, Google).
I believe LG is also a South Korean company compared to the Chinese ones you mentioned so maybe there is a little patriotic incentive for LG over there.
The brands you mentioned aren't widely available in Korea. Since LG left the market, all the carriers, to my knowledge, only offer Apple or Samsung devices.

Thanks for the insight. Is what you're saying that there you can only buy a phone through a carrier?
