Exploring the coexistence of portability and large screens has been the main theme of innovation for mobile phone manufacturers in the past five years.<\/p>\n

Apple’s answer is quite mainstream: foldable screens. According to a report from Nikkei, the highly anticipated foldable iPhone has started trial production this week. Unexpectedly, on the same day, news spread that the trial production had encountered setbacks, which might lead to delays in its production volume and release.<\/p>\n

IFanr has reported on the foldable iPhone several times before. It is likely to be a “wide-fold” phone, with the outer and inner screens possibly around 5.5 inches and 7.8 inches respectively. Due to its special design ratio, its production difficulty is quite high.<\/p>\n

There are also rumors that Apple developed multiple prototypes simultaneously and finally selected the most conservative version.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From being initially heavy and fragile to becoming increasingly thin and light, with the creases gradually fading, and then continuously exploring the boundaries with forms such as triple-folding and wide-folding, the foldable screen has proven to be a viable path, driving the entire industry forward. It’s understandable for Apple to choose a mature solution.<\/p>\n

However, in the era when the foldable screen had not yet unified the narrative, there were more bold explorations in the industry. Perhaps the closest to “another future” was the rollable screen.<\/p>\n

Recently, a prototype of an LG rollable screen phone from five years ago was exposed again. It had a high level of completion but was never officially released.<\/p>\n

Why has the foldable screen survived its struggling phase, and even Apple wants to give it a try, while the rollable screen phone has faded away? Why is it difficult to make a good foldable screen phone and achieve perfection? Could there be an answer in the rollable screen phone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With these questions in mind, we disassembled this LG rollable screen phone.<\/p>\n
