LG Electronics has been teasing its futuristic rollable smartphone since last year. But now, it seems that the company is halting development for this device along with two other innovative handsets as well.
According to a BizChosunreport, the South Korean tech giant has stopped the developed of three OLED display projects. These displays were supposed to be housed on upcoming innovative smartphones, including the LG rollable, and other foldable devices as well. Furthermore, the projects were also being co developed by known display maker BOE. Reportedly, BOE is now reviewing a claim regarding development costs to LG.
The primary reason for the company halting development on its smartphone project is likely its lagging mobile division. For those unaware, the brand has been seeing lackluster sales in the last couple of years. To combat this, the company had aimed to launch innovative devices in the future, but weak sales for handsets like the LG Wing might have affected the company’s decision. During CES 2021, LG had teased its first rollable smartphone, which could have its display size expand or retract.
At the moment, it is unknown what amount BOE is looking to charge LG with regarding the matter. Additionally, an industry insider stated that “Because the development cost per smartphone model is about 10 million dollars based on Korean panel makers, we are looking for a smaller amount from the BOE. The source further added that “we set the mass production target as low as 100,000 units, we will not or have accumulated a lot of supplies.”

A new iQOO labeled as “iQOO I2012” has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. The identity of this phone is not known yet. The presence of the letter “I” in its label suggests that it could be an Indian variant of the mysterious iQOO phone.

The iQOO 3 smartphone which debuted in February last year is the only iQOO that has ever launched in India. The model number of the device is I1928. This suggests that the newly spotted iQOO I2012 could be an Indian variant of a new iQOO phone.

A new image has just surfaced of a Sony truly wireless earbuds, which might be the WF-1000XM4 earphones. The photo was posted on Reddit, with the earbuds design being revealed through its packaging box.
According to a TheWalkManBlog, Reddit User Key_Attention4766 shared the image, which was also posted on Imgur. The picture is described as the “packaging box sleeve of the WF-1000XM4.” In other words, this might be the first look of the upcoming earbuds, with its design being in full view. Looking at the image, it can be observed that the earbuds feature a bean like design with top having, what appears to be, a microphone.
Furthermore, the Sony logo can be seen in gold, which is similar to the ones seen on the WH-1000XM4 and WF-1000XM3. Although, a notable difference is that the branding is on the side rather than the top, being in full view at the exterior region. One can also observe a fold accented piece on the side, which looks like an external noise cancellation microphone. This design change arrives as a welcomed touch as it offers a premium aesthetic as well.
Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report, so take this image with a pinch of salt. The design in the Sony WF-1000XM4 go against previous forms that might be indicative of a fake image. The “WF-1000XM4” branding’s font on the box is also thinner than the ones seen in the previously launched variants. In other words, there are a few inconsistencies that might be intentional from the company. But, we will have to wait for an official company announcement to know for sure.

Last month, Motorola launched the Motorola Edge S in China as the world’s first smartphone fueled by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform. Rumors have claimed that the device will be heading to global markets as the Moto G100. Hence, it is likely to end up as the most powerful G-series phone from the brand. It appears that the arrival of the device could be close at hand as the Moto G100 has appeared at Geekbench’s database (via).
Before the Motorola Edge S moniker was confirmed, it was referred to as the ‘Nio’ codename. The same codename is mentioned in the Geekbench 5 listing of the Motorola Moto G100. The processor is mentioned with a 1.80GHz base frequency. The source code of the listing has revealed that the SoC can reach maximum speeds of 3.19GHz and it has Adreno G50 graphics. Hence, it is confirmed that it is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 chipset.

Last year, Reliance Jio had announced Google’s investment of Rs 33,737 crore for a 7.7 percent stake in the company. Along with that, it was also revealed that both the companies will be collaborating for making a low-cost Android smartphone.
Now, it is being reported that Qualcomm will also be playing a key role for this upcoming entry-level smartphone. With budget smartphones, Jio is trying to convert feature phone users, especially its JioPhone users, into first-time smartphone users.
Rajen Vagadia, President of Qualcomm India, told ET that the company will continue the legacy of collaborating and supporting Jio in bringing new devices and offerings, across price tiers in the market.
Qualcomm’s 400-series chipsets are likely to be used for the budget smartphones — both for 4G as well as 5G. However, the company hasn’t confirmed reaching a deal for the same, saying that such deals would be confidential.
As per the previous reports, Reliance Jio had planned to launch the budget smartphone made in collaboration with Google, by December 2020. However, the release of the device has been postponed and is now expected to get launched in the first quarter of this year.
The upcoming budget smartphone is expected to be priced around Rs 4,000 (approximately $55) to attract the masses in the Indian market. Another report claims that the Jio is expected to roll out around 200 million units within two years in hopes to rope in new users to maintain its lead in the market.
It will be interesting to how the upcoming Jio-Google budget smartphone performs in the market. Google has been trying to focus on the budget offerings with services like Android Go and Android One, but so far hasn’t been able to provide support after initial few months. Indian smartphone market is already highly competitive and it remains to been seen if Jio’s smartphones can be a threat to the likes of Xiaomi and Realme.
