LG was struggling in the smartphone business and recently, the company confirmed that it is exiting from the mobile market. The company plans to shut down the mobile unit in a few months but will continue to sell its existing inventory.

It remains to be seen what will happen to the company’s devices that are already in the pipeline. While that is yet to be known, details about the LG Rollable smartphone and LG Rainbow smartphones have now surfaced online.

A live image of the LG Rollable smartphone has leaked online, showcasing the black-colored phone with its design. Along with that, another smartphone from the brand, LG Rainbow aka LG V70 has also surfaced online.

The report also claims that the LG V70 smartphone isn’t getting launched in May or June this year. In fact, it says that the phone is dead and will not be released in the market. It also reveals that the LG Rollable won’t be equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset but will utilize a lower-grade processor.

LG had teased its rollable smartphone earlier this year at CES 2021 and had promoted to launch the device later this year. But given that the company is exiting the smartphone market, the release of the smartphone seems to have been suspended.

Earlier, there were reports about the company suspending the rollable smartphone but a couple of months ago, LG spokesperson said that the device has not been put on hold and added that there was no decision about the future of its mobile products. Right now, all we can do is wait and see what the company decides for the rollable smartphone.

LG may or may not be planning the launch of a new series of smartphones. Just last month, it announced a new series of affordable smartphones for the Indian market which includes the LG W10, LG W30, and the LG W30 Pro. Now, a trademark application has revealed the name of a new phone called the LG M10.

The application was filed at the Korean Intellectual Property Office and it says the trademark which is “M10” was filed under the Smartphones category. The application was filed on the 8th of July 2019.

While there are reports this may be a new line, we have a feeling this is the LG W10 taking on a new name in LG’s home country. This is not unusual for LG. One phone may go buy one name in one market and by another name in its home country. The LG X6 (in Korea), for example, is the same device as the LG Q60. It is also known as the LG K12 Prime in Brazil.

This is just speculation and the LG M10 may actually be the first of a brand-new series not similar to the W-series.

Apart from the M10, LG has also applied for trademarks for V60 and V70 which obviously are names of future LG V-series smartphones. The latest in the V-series is the LG V50 ThinQ which launched earlier this year. There is a chance we may get an LG V60 ThinQ later this year.
