LG Wing was the coolest and most fun phone in the last year and this LG Rollable might even be better at that + more practical and sturdy than any foldable out there, so LG must release it and do no stupid things like selling its mobile division since it already is on a good path, just they need to release faster software updates, choose better SOCs for their budget phones and do better marketing, they can easily be a top 5 OEM

But right now with the lot of people of cloud era, it's not the same I guess.
So perhaps it's better to look at Oppo or Vivo for Perfomance/value like the Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G (What a mouthful)
30795Perhaps they are a little bit ahead of their time ? And with all the loss accumulated it's starting to seem weird to continue in this expensive business ... They don't have the same budget as Samsung or even Oppo I think, add the poor targeting availability and high price and you have a similar situation to ... Sony, with even poorer sales figure. That's sad :/

LG wonder why their sales keep dropping maybe its because they never even bother to sell it outside Northern America predominatly.
How do you increase sales when you only sell your phones in a very limited markets especially after spending all the costly R&D, LG marketing is out of this world, remeber when oneplus first started you could only buy online.....maybe LG should be doing that because instead of trying to sell at skyhigh prices to cover R&D they should distribute globally and sell at moderate price in mass markets and concentrate on distribution for Wings & V60 globally unlock Dual Sim phones rather than always relying on carrier locked single sim phones only, like Northern America predominantly; what about Europe and Asian countries....they dont even bother to market and there are huge market LG miss out entirely!

There isn’t as it wouldn’t have sold. And also we have no idea what hurdles these rollable need to get over before it’s something worth of buy. For example how 3rd apps would react to that expanding screen? Would every app need to be redesigned to support it. I think it would and that’s really big hurdle.
I also think they won’t never release it because it’s more like wet dream than a product ready for market, i think LG actually knows this, they just wanted to leave the market and give something to talk about and they did a great job by it. Their rollable propably isn’t anywhere near market ready product. That’s my prediction.

Samsung makes many of the components they use, LG does not. This helps to lower final price.
Z Fold is more than $2000, how is this one supposed to cost less?

No SD4xx can do 4K. Similar chips from mediatek not even 1080@60.

19145The Wing was a really cool experiment, but it didn't really seem that practical to me. What I'd love is a dual screen phone like the Velvet or G8X with Dual Screen, but integrated, not detachable, and with the gap between the screens minimized as much as possible.

Check prices Apple and Samsung charge outside North America.
Both easily ask more than $1600 for same devices they charge $900 in USA.
V60 was similar price of unlocked Iphone 12 Mini.
5ii was about 200 euros cheaper than 12 Pro in whole Europe , also cheaper in Asia.
In my location, iphone 12 128GB costs 2x the price of Velvet.

This is why some brands do not have sub-$200 devices.
In 2019, Samsung sold more midranges but less flagships than 2018.
Profits were lower.
Brands like Oppo and Vivo have had many phones over $650 for few years already. The 2018 Oppo Find X was $1000.

They either need to be competitive in terms of price to performance or offer value that is under represented on the market. Things like stock Android, smaller devices, different build materials, etc. Doing the same thing Apple or Samsung does and charging 5% less is a recipe for disaster. I'm not surprised HTC, Sony and LG are all on life support.
33581073impinas, 22 Jan 2021Maybe the LG Wing would have more sales if it was available for buying.I do agree with you. A friend of mine had to import his Wing 5G to Malaysia all the way from the USA. That's not a good sign if you ask me.
33581073Even for an avid LG fan like me, I do think the rollable screen is pretty much a gimmick at the moment. To be brutally honest, I'm still struggling to see a single benefit of the rollable screen. Saving space? I'm not so sure if the phone itself in standard guise is already too big in the first place. Screen flexibility? I'd rather have two display like the detachable DualScreen case instead.

Like, taking away them all, makes the phone worth half the price, or a quarter, for me. I've yet to be influenced to buy a Samsung phone. I have another phone with the Samsung image sensor, which I love, but the stupid 48mp thing, can't produce direct 48mp images or 8k video. The question then becomes, why not 12mp on a cheaper phone?

Seriously. Just run it differently. The latest phones were the wrong way. The top end were good, but had to go cheesier or better. Too many phones.
Stick to three to six phones. $100 4k Mini phone, with great video and pictures as introductory phone. $200 mid range. $300 mid range with pro video 4k, and 8k. $400 high end. $500 high end 8k pro video. $1000 rollable. What could go wrong? In this crazy over priced market, if they style it right, and gave it even better media acquisition abilities (musicians, video and film camera people, journalists, sakes, trades and construction, science and engineering (size estimation and 3D mapping features, and detailed pictures of things) it would be an obvious advantage.
The other areas are privacy functions, desktop like app functionality (business), gaming, and pretty much lock any kind of spy like access of apps and system.
The above is aimed at certain Asian phone and Nokia.
