Seoul, Oct 31 (IANS): After launching a rollable TV, LG plans to launch a smartphone with a rollable screen early next year.
The upcoming roll-up smartphone, codenamed Project B, will be the second device in the company’s new Project Explorer.
“The recently launched LG Wing, which features a rotating main display, was the first smartphone released as part of Project Explorer,” reports XDA Developers.
The smartphone has apparently been named Project B in honor of the company’s CEO, Kwon Bong-seok.
Currently, details on the roll-up smartphone are scant, but LG teased the upcoming smartphone during the Wing launch.
In addition to Project B, the company is also working on Project Rainbow, which is expected to be a classic flagship, a continuation of the V series.
The V60 ThinQ had a Snapdragon 865 chip and the next LG Rainbow is likely to feature the yet to be announced Snapdragon 875 SoC.
Furthermore, LG is expected to ship around 26 million smartphones this year and is aiming higher for next year, mid-30 million units.
LG Electronics this month launched the world’s first rollable TV in South Korea at a staggering $ 87,000 (about Rs 63.9 lakhs) as the tech giant targets high-end consumers amid the pandemic. .
