Producers of mobile devices have always experimented with more or less innovative forms. Some ideas do not go beyond the conceptual sphere, but some of them are implemented in the form of various initiatives. One of them is Project Explorer. As part of the program, LG creates quite unusual smartphones, like the LG Wing we recently tested. The device did not aim at the flagship shelf, because when creating it, the designers aimed at something completely different, namely testing the limits of the usefulness of innovation. The same may apply to LG Rollable, a phone with a retractable screen, to which the South Korean manufacturer devoted a fragment of yesterday’s presentation at CES 2021.

The Korean producer of consumer electronics at CES 2021 unveiled the secret about LG Rollable. What do we know about a smartphone with a rolling screen that can function as a tablet?

Smartphone structures have evolved over the years from not particularly attractive angular bodies with huge frames surrounding the screens for slender works of art, in which the displays cover almost the entire front surface. Customer requirements are growing and they are no longer satisfied with the close-to-classical form of devices. This is what underlies the reasons for creating a folding screen design. We have more and more representatives of the foldable segment on the market, so no one should be surprised when manufacturers look for newer forms.

More and more often mention is made of devices using developed or, if you prefer – rolling screens. OPPO and Xiaomi and TCL are developing their project, and possibly also Samsung. Another player willing to enter this category is another Korean manufacturer that is preparing the LG Rollable model for its customers. This is what the unusual smartphone will be called, which may be officially presented later this year and will most likely be part of the Project Explorer program. LG provided us with a video presenting the essence of the device. The whole thing is announced before.
