LG is selling final units of the unreleased Velvet 2 Pro & LG Rollable to its employees

May 18, 2021

Tech giant LG who recently announced it was exiting the smartphone market, may have decided to sell off the remnants of its unreleased models to the company’s staff. A recent tweet by a Twitter user with the name @FrontTron indicates that the company’s staffers in South Korea have the opportunity to purchase the few remaining models at an extremely cheap price.

The tweet also detailed around 3,000 units of the unreleased models to be available to the Korea-based staff of LG Electronics. The devices on offer are the LG Rainbow/Velvet 2 Pro and the LG Rollable, both of which were never released.

The Velvet 2 Pro is what should have been the successor of the LG Velvet that was released last year but it wasn’t released before the company announced its exit from the smartphone market. The stand-out feature of the Velvet 2 Pro is its pressure-sensitive touch sensor button which controls the volume and serves as the power button.

The Velvet 2 Pro is an all-around improvement from its predecessor, although the Twitter post did not offer much on the specifications of the models that were on sale. We, however, know that it comes with a triple camera setup at the rear and a front camera housed in a waterdrop notch.

The leak mentioned that the auctioned devices would only enjoy six months of technical support and no software updates. It also indicated that the Velvet 2 Pro would be sold to staffers for around $170. The outlook is that there could be a surge of demand in-house. The company is also prohibiting a resale of the models by successful buyers.

The moves by LG in selling off unreleased products is a culmination of its decision to pull out from the smartphone market, which was made public in April 2021. There could still be a few other unreleased LG models that may also be sold off via the in-house template.

Xiaomi patents modular smartphone design with periscope zoom camera

May 18, 2021

Modular smartphones haven’t taken off as intended and foldable phones have become more popular compared to modular phones even though they were launching a couple of years after the introduction of modular phones.

There are only a couple of companies that launched — Motorola under its Moto Z series and Dutch-based Fairphone are among those. Now, it seems that China-based Xiaomi could be working on a modular smartphone as it has been awarded a patent for the same.

Xiaomi had filed a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an ‘electronic device.’ The documents revealed a few weeks ago, describes a smartphone that is made of different modules with differing functions.

A concept render of the smartphone based on the images in the patent application has been created by Concept Creator for LetsGoDigital. There are basically three modules — the first one contains the motherboard and the camera system, the second module is for the battery while the third module is the one that forms the underside of the telephone.

Two of those three modules feature a screen and when both of them are connected together, it forms a large display panel without a visible seam. The modules can be attached and removed through a rail-like sliding mechanism.

The company has shown and described two different types of camera modules. One of them is a square-shaped camera system with a triple-camera setup and an LED flash, a design we saw on the company’s Redmi 9C smartphone. There’s also a vertical camera configuration with a quad-camera setup. The lens at the bottom has a square-shaped design, indicating a periscope zoom camera.

As for the front-facing camera, the documents don’t reveal much. At this time, it’s likely to be a punch-hole notch on the display for housing the front camera but the company could also use the under-display camera technology for this.

Xiaomi co-founder and CEO Lei Jun had shared several photos of the Xiaomi Magic Cube modular phone on Weibo a few years back. Although the phone was not released in the market, it appears that the Chinese company is still playing with the idea and could launch a smartphone with a similar concept in the future.

Three new models are reportedly lined up for release this year, and they are codenamed Wise, Fresh, and Lucky. One of the models will have a classic look similar to a conventional watch, while the two other models will highlight Samsung’s innovative and attractive designs with a sporty look.

As for the price range and expected date of unveiling of the three Galaxy Watch 4 models, no specifics have been given yet. Samsung already has a July event slated for the launch of its foldable smartphone, and the Galaxy Watch 4 may also be unveiled during that event.
