You may want to just slow your roll for minute with this whole foldable phone thing.
While electronics giants such as Samsung are Watch The Temptation of Kimono (2009)reportedly charging ahead to release smartphones that bend as early as this year, at least one major player in the space is taking this opportunity to sit back and see how it all plays out.

And why is that? Well, it looks like LG has bigger fish to fry at the moment.

"In terms of technology, we are fully ready to respond depending on consumers' reactions."
In other words, LG appears to be waiting for the market to first prove there is a demand for bendable smartphones before dumping resources into manufacturing them.
Which, well, might not be that bad of an idea. But then again, you never really know. After all, people reportedly balked at the idea of smartphones without a physical keyboard. We all know how that turned out.
