LG applies for trademarks for M10, V60 and V70 smartphones in South Korea

LG last month announced a brand-new series of smartphones called the **W-series in the Indian market** to compete with the increasing pressure from brands such as Realme and Redmi. Now it would appear that another series of smartphones could be making its way called the M-series.

While this could mean that a new M-series is in the offing, reports indicate that it could just be the W10 rebranded as the M10 for LG’s home country of South Korea. Putting the legitimacy of the M-series smartphones, LG has also applied for trademarks for V60 and V70 which obviously are names of future LG V-series smartphones. The last device in the company’s flagship V-series was the V50 ThinQ and it would make sense for the company to continue the naming scheme of the series. Earlier LG said that it is betting on new  **India-first 'W' series of smartphones**  to woo consumers in the hyper-competitive Indian phone market, and grab double-digit share over the next two years. LG’s bet on the online channel is similar to rival Samsung’s approach. Earlier this year, Samsung had launched an India-first ‘M’ series that is also sold through Amazon.
