LG, the South Korean tech giant, left the phone market in 2021, but recent developments suggest a possible comeback in the smartphone industry. According to reports from MsPoweruser, LG has filed a new patent for a mobile phone.
This patent hints at a new iteration of the rollable device that LG had teased in 2020 before discontinuing its handset production. The patent diagrams showcase a screen that can be ‘rolled up’ at one end, allowing users to adjust its size as needed.
The 21-page patent, filed on 10 October 2023 and published on 8 October 2024, raises speculation about the potential launch of the LG Rollable and a resurgence of LG in the phone market.
While the future of LG’s phone comeback remains uncertain, the prospect of increased Android phone competition, particularly from companies exploring innovative form factors, is promising for consumers.
