The LG Rollable phone has been showcased during the company’s press conference in the ongoing CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2021. The fact that LG has been working on a rollable phone is pretty much known so much so that Oppo jumped on the bandwagon by unveiling its Oppo X 2021 rollable smartphone back in November 2020. However, LG now wants to get the ball rolling and has teased its first rollable phone putting all rumours to rest.

As always, LG is the first to officially kick things off at CES with its press event, showing off quite a few new products that will be making their way into people’s homes later this year. LG typically doesn’t show off new smartphone tech at CES and they didn’t make any mobile announcements during the press event, but that didn’t stop them from teasing the upcoming LG Rollable smartphone.
During the opening of Jin-hong Kim’s (SVP, Head of LG’s Global Marketing Center) presentation, the scene was shown through a smartphone which expands from a smartphone to a tablet. Unfortunately, all we know about the device and its expandable display is based on what LG showed in the video for 5 seconds. LG has not yet shared any details regarding the phone’s specifications, the display technology, or the mechanical hardware they are using to allow the phone to expand.
