LG’s first foldable phone, the LG Rollable, appeared in a YouTube video, which revealed an interesting phone due to the concept of use and also the manufacturing quality, but it is unlucky.
And the company LG had revealed a prototype of its foldable phone LG Rollable during its participation in the CES 2021 conference, which can expand its screen in a revolutionary way, but then the company surprised everyone by announcing the cessation of the manufacture of smartphones.
And LG’s announcement stated that the decision to close the smartphone industry department came due to the difficulty of facing the challenges of the chipset crisis, as well as the economic impact of this sector as a result of the repercussions of the spread of the Corona virus, and therefore it was decided to close it and suspend the projects it works on, including LG Rollable.
It seems that LG’s decision came following the company had already produced the LG Rollable phone and had already delivered some of them to some retail stores in South Korea, which explains the phone’s arrival to a YouTube content maker who reviewed it and how LG had a real competitor to Samsung’s foldable phones. , Galaxy Z Fold, but more exciting.
As shown in the video, the LG Rollable offers a unique experience of foldable phones, where the screen that can wrap to the inside of the phone completely, through the top and bottom edges and can be repositioned on sliding mechanisms inspired by rails that extend and shrink the frame to reveal and hide space additional screen.
When the LG Rollable is used like a regular phone, the expandable portion of the screen that wraps around the edge and covers just over half of the back panel is turned off. Z Flip 4.
With the back screen activated from the phone, it appears that the doomed phone offers users the flexibility to use it to take selfies using the high-resolution rear cameras.
The Korean content maker in the video has also tested how well the phone is manufactured, and it appears that there is some kind of pressure sensor on the right edge that activates the rolling display and unlocking behavior, and when tested it showed that it is very strong enough to move two thick books while the screen is open.
Without getting into the specifications of the LG Rollable as it’s not actually available to buy, it’s definitely an unfortunate phone and the company has killed a major competitor in this new market in the bud.
