We asked, you told us: You definitely liked the canceled LG Rollable

LG was forced to cancel its Rollable phone after the company pulled out of the smartphone business, but that didn’t stop a Korean YouTube channel from getting a unit and reviewing the device.

The LG Rollable certainly seemed like a pretty interesting product in the video review, but what do Android Authority readers think of it? We posed this question in our news article covering the review last week.

What do you think of the LG Rollable?

Results

Just over 1,000 votes were counted as of writing, and we have a runaway winner on our hands. A massive 80.19% of respondents said they liked the LG Rollable. A few readers noted in the comments that this form factor seemed better than foldable phone form factors.

Otherwise, 15.85% of polled readers felt that the rollable phone was merely “okay.” We can see why people would vote for this option, as the screen in particular definitely seems like a first-generation effort. For example, there’s plenty of glare and you can even make out some wrinkles.

Finally, 3.96% of respondents said they hated the canceled phone. We didn’t see any comments reflecting this stance, but we’re guessing that the exposed plastic OLED screen raises questions about durability. That’s in addition to the aforementioned screen glare and wrinkles.

Comments

• Tennisfreak: If LG could have stuck with this form factor I feel it would have been the ideal way to use a foldable OLED right now. I’d get this form factor over the fold or flip.
• Commentor: Looks very interesting, I think it would have been a success, more attractive than the fold & flip models that are on offer
• serge bureau: Much more interesting than fold and flip, this is way better !
• meh…: This would have been an antidote to LG’s problems in the market, but they decided to cut bait instead of try this as a hail Mary. Such a shame.
• Farhan Ahmad Tajuddin: I definitely love this idea way more than foldable screen. Not only you don’t have any creases, you can roll the screen all the way to a legit tablet size. If I really want to have a smartphone as a tablet replacement, foldable screen isn’t it. Rollable screen definitely is.
