A report from Korea claims that LG Rollable will never see the light of day: behind this a company statement against BOE and other suppliers
The suppliers of particular displays, such as curved or flexible ones, are always the same and among these also check BOE. Reportedly LG reportedly communicated to BOE and other display vendors to block refueling and LG Rollable related projects. Industry observers say the company, after the first hints, could actually abandon the smartphone industry and this news referring to the rollable smartphone is just one proof.
On the other hand, a possible buyer of the Korean company could be the Vietnamese Vingroup. Although no details are available yet on the exact reason why LG decided to abandon the device, insiders speculate that:
The pace of development of LG's rollable smartphones may be slower than expected and the company may have felt pressure to deliver successful results with the product on the market
In short words expectations were different: the colossus had set out to reach high levels but at the end of the fair it did not succeed.

The Korean company would reveal a The Verge that the rumors about the end of the LG Rollable project are false.
