By default, new contacts are stored in your Google Account, not on the LG smartphone's memory when you're signed in. Unfortunately, the LG does not allow you to change the default location for all new contacts, and you must select it each time you create a new contact.

Also, as shown in this guide, the location of an existing contact can be changed, in which case the contact will be moved.
