Yonhap: LG has put the rollable phone project on hold

22 February 2021
Insiders claim that BOE and other component suppliers have been told to stop work on the project.

Sort by:

That's okay since it's a niche device and how will have trust in them for software support for a 2000+ device ?

    passing the limelight for such to oppo perhaps...

      Well obviously. Why would LG do anything good in the smartphone market? This isn't 2017.

        -Trix-, 22 Feb 2021There's propably a lot of problems to get the apps and... moreThat's because LG do not put their back into their stuff.

        A nobody dev on reddit created an app to force wide view on non wide supported apps on dual screen phones. And it just made some apps like Moon Reader look like a book with a single page dispalyed on each screen.

          Hooray for a future of rectangles. These form factors made fun of by the media/masses only become relevant if Apple "invents" them.

            LG should release it anyway. It might become a hit and the sales will cover their loss for the last few years. Otherwise, they'll be showcasing some cool tech and rack up more losses.

              Glad LG's failing, Samsung is the superior Korean tech company.

                Also in news: Talks with Vingroup failed, no sale happening right now for LG's smartphone facilities....

                  Of course no success for lg phones .

                    I don't understand why they made lg wing in the first place, their marketing twma is not efficient and their aspirations are very very high. Don't think of directly competing with Samsung. Just make good people centric phone at minimum profit margins and do it in all segments. Look at Mi for example they r not making anything extreme or special but pushing the boundaries slightly so every time and improving. No harm in learning from small companies.

                      Please educate me who in the world will buy a rolable screen phone or TV with zero durability but price beyond believe.
                      Device like this is maybe for 0,001% of global population worldvide for people with income of a 100k euros a moth or above which is scarce and even those people wouldnt spend money on something which will never worked the way it should.

                        Kek, 22 Feb 2021If anything, LG should license their tech like Sony does. B... moreDAC is bought, not created the OEMs.
                        Boom Box is same approach used by HTC with U11. Some space is used to amplify the sound. Htc calls Boom Speaker.

                        Nothing to be licensed....

                          If anything, LG should license their tech like Sony does. BoomBox and their QuadDacs would be a welcome addition for other Oems.

                            -Trix-, 22 Feb 2021There's propably a lot of problems to get the apps and... moreProbably not this .

                            LG is going through huge financial loss with mobile.
                            This kind of device would surely cost more than $2500.
                            They would never sell enough to cover the investment.

                            They should focus on make things better now, then bring this kind of device.




                              There's propably a lot of problems to get the apps and games work with it. It's cool concept, but propably still need a whole lot of work to be real product.
