The LG rollable smartphone was one of the casualties of the Korean OEM’s decision to exit the smartphone market. The innovative phone had been under development when LG pulled the plug on smartphone manufacturing. The units were reportedly sold out to employees subsequently.
Since then, a number of videos have showcased the smartphone but the latest one provides more stunning aspects of the device. The video was published by a South Korean YouTube channel and further highlights the uniquely designed smartphone. The packaging of the device was unique, containing a charger, a USB cable, and some paperwork.
It is unclear why LG did not roll out the smartphone before exiting the market. It features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The rollable has a 6.8-inch flexible POLED front display and a 4,500mAh battery. The front display is expandable into a 7.4-inch screen.
The LG Rollable has touch-sensitive controls on the left edge to turn on the display and adjust the volume in place of physical buttons. It has a 64MP primary camera with OIS and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera. A circular fingerprint scanner sits underneath the main camera at the back. The video also highlighted the workings of the rollable display. It can be expanded or contracted seamlessly with the swipe of two fingers. The changing form factor of the rollable is also accommodated with its UI also transitioning.
The YouTube video clearly highlights the unique features of the LG Rollable which is creaseless, unlike foldables. However, the rollable section is less solid than the rest of the display. It also easily flexes when pressed. The stunning design is open for other OEMs as LG has already closed the lid on it.
