TL;DR
- LG, which no longer makes smartphones, is handing out discount codes for the Google Pixel 5a.
- The codes are going out to “loyal mobile customers” and net you $65 off the Pixel phone from the Google Store.
- This is happening right after a Google ad aired that makes quite a few jokes at LG’s expense.
Earlier this year, LG surprised us all by completely exiting the smartphone industry. Going forward, the company will only support existing phones instead of producing new ones.
Now, we have another interesting turn of events from LG (via 9to5Google). Going out today, the South Korean company is sending out discount codes to its “loyal mobile customers.” The codes net you $65 off a Google Pixel 5a. Wait, what?
