While the launch still seems afar, tipster Tron (@cozyplanes) has poured tons of details about the highly-anticipated smartphone, and this time he's revealed the price. As per the tipster, the LG Rollable smartphone could be priced at $2,359 (approx Rs 1,73,400). That doesn't come as a surprise as we've seen more such first-generation of such innovative handsets to be priced on the higher side. To put things in perspective, the iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB costs $1099 in the US and Rs 1,39,000 in India.
What would make it stand out is its side-rolling display that will transform into a tablet when the screen is stretched on the sides. As per previous leaks, LG Rollable could feature a 7.4-inch rollable display with 2428×1080p resolution and 20:9 aspect ratio in the phone mode. Also, the device is said to have a video mode with 16:9 aspect ratio and 2428 x 1366p resolution and in the productivity mode, LG Rollable will have 2428 x 1600p resolution with 3:2 aspect ratio.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage is said to power the smartphone. It is said to be backed by a 4,200mAh battery.
The rollable phone will be the second phone under LG Explorer project. The first one being the LG Wing with a swivel-screen that was launched recently at Rs 69,900 in India.
