What happens to LG”s Rollable phone?
The idea of a rollable phone seems a bit mythical and well, quite impossible, right? But last year, LG confirmed that it is indeed, a real device and was said to be made available. In case you have a hard time imagining how the design would be, the LG’s rollable phone is like a roll film where you can adjust or extend the size of the phone from a small, regular phone to a tablet display. It is like a smartphone and tablet all rolled into one. Well, that sounds pretty cool though.
Unfortunately, the hype around the release of the rollable phone had died down and this innovative device seems like it never make it to the market. However, there are rumors circulating around the phone involving a video that prove the phone had actually been built. Now, we know how it actually looks and operates!
Is it real?
I leave it to you guys to decide whether the video was legit or otherwise. But, there are so many elements in that video that make it as real as it can get. For example, we can see the reflection of the lights and the person on the phone which is hard to be mistaken as fake. (well, unless they have a very advanced AI, we never know!)
We can’t make up much about the phone just from a few glimpses from the video but the rollable screen is surely intriguing enough that make us want to get our hands on it. As you can see, the rolled-out screen feature operates automatically just by a press of a button and once the screen turned to a bigger display, it shows the rest of the hidden apps on the screen.
The screen is rumored to have a 7.4-inch of display and can be rolled down to 6.8-inch. with Qualcomm SDM765 Snapdragon 765G (7 nm) performance.
Although there is no definite answer as to when this phone will be released or if its development will be continued to be pursued by LG, we can only hope that in the future, there may be other mobile companies that will explore this kind of advanced technology of the smartphone.
