LG is yet to announce its first foldable device but over the past few months, we have seen a couple of patents for foldable phones filed by the Korean giant. In September, we reported LG patented a phone with a rollable display and last month, we also covered its patent for a smartphone with a display that extends, thereby transforming it into a tablet.
The most recent one is for another foldable device with an outward-folding design similar to Huawei’s Mate X. First, reported by LetsGoDigital, the patent diagrams show the device has three cameras on the left side of the screen. When unfolded, the cameras can be used for taking selfies and for video recording while they serve as rear cameras when folded.
It has been reported that the patent was filed back in May 2019 before it was published on November 29, 2019.
There are reports LG is working on a foldable device but we do not know which of the designs we have seen in recent months it will adopt. Nevertheless, we don’t expect the device to launch until next year and when it does, it most probably will be a 5G device.
