Overview
- MKBHD posted a hands-on video Wednesday that shows the display grow from 6.7 inches to roughly 7.4 inches after a three-finger swipe triggers the motors.
- The software includes a bloom-style unlock animation, a two-column Settings view when expanded, and selectable sound effects that mask motor noise.
- LG wrapped part of the screen around the back under clear glass to act as a second display for widgets and a selfie viewfinder, and capacitive strips replace volume buttons to fit the rails.
- Following JerryRigEverything’s earlier teardown, which revealed dual motors, rails, and spring-loaded arms driving the roll-out, this hands-on focuses on how the device feels to use.
- The unit came from dbrand and is one of very few outside LG, underscoring that the project was canceled about five years ago and that no brand has shipped a rollable phone since.
