LG Rollable OLED Display Smartphone ‘Project B’: Expected Features

As mentioned above, the rollable display smartphone from LG is still in the prototype stage. Consequently, it can take a year or two for this smartphone to reach the production stage. Initially, the report sounded a bit sketchy but soon after LG filed a patent for such a device the report gained concrete confirmation.

The name says it all, in a rollable display smartphone the display rolls in and out to enlarge or shrink the screen size.

LG won’t compromise on the display quality of this device and it will sport an OLED panel. Additionally, this device will pack the flagship internals to attract consumers.

As you might or might not know, rollable technology is not new for LG. The consumer electronics company showcased a TV with a rollable panel at CES.

It is worth noting that this entire article is based on a reliable report. However, there are slight chances that LG might not come up with any such technology.
