Title was editorialised from "BACK FROM THE GRAVE" to "Unreleased LG Rollable Smartphone Teardown" as the original title does not provide information what the video is on.
Having owned a Fold in the past, I still am firm that if we get flexible displays to be sufficiently resilient, this rollable design will win in the long term. It only requires one display, can be deployed far more seamlessly than opening via a hinge and allows for numerous display size between the max and minimum deployment, rather than a fixed number.
Had a LG Wing and V60, used them beyond the death of LGs smartphone division. Software/the skin was never their strong suit, but they did deviate from the pack in very interesting ways. Sadly, that likely contributed to their ultimate demise, though I maintain that they could have staved of their fate, had they heavily advertised being the only "normal looking" smartphone at the time that followed MIL-STD-810G1. That they barely advertised a differentiator which could have caught the attention of a large consumer base in the outdoors, hunting, etc. spaces is a missed opportunity in my eyes.
