LG
Rollable screen smartphone
Lg has announced a permanent exit from the mobile phone manufacturing industry. But its innovative spirit is always worth learning from other industry peers.

In the trailer, we see for the first time a curlable smartphone, where the screen extends upwards to make a larger screen like a tablet. The phone screen moves with the help of a motor that can retract and unfold the screen as in a curlable TV.
The best part is that we can use phones such as smartphones and tablets. LG Wing is a fascinating concept, but it looks more practical. LG did not disclose any other specifications regarding the curlable phone. If the phone is equipped with powerful processors such as the Snapdragon 888 and 5G support, it can compete with Samsung's foldable phones and other high-end smartphones on the market.
tesla
Tesla Mode Pi
The Tesla Model Pi is the hottest event that has yet to be officially confirmed. It is a concept phone. Still, it's a great concept, and if Tesla starts making phones, it will be the biggest headache for Apple and Samsung.
Based on image rendering, its four rear cameras provide incredible imaging capabilities. Tesla phones will be compatible with Starlink satellites, and some crazy information suggests that it could also work on Mars. In addition, the phone will have Neuralink compatibility as well as advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.
With the Starlink Internet, you can make calls and transfer data from remote corners of the globe without a telecom connection. With camera or processor details, it's safe to assume that Tesla won't use anything that rivals are easy to configure. It can be charged with solar energy. You can simply leave it in the sun to charge it. You can also use it to control your Tesla car, which can be used as a remote control.
