LG announces new foldable screen tech, hopes to beat Samsung at game of foldable phones

Foldable phones already exist but right now they aren't that good. For example, despite the high price, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 still suffers from screen crease. LG says its new foldable screen technology is better than the one Samsung is using.

LG might have quit the smartphone business, but it is a tech giant that has no plans to stop making the technology that goes into smartphones. One of the LG companies, LG Chem, has now come up with a new type of foldable screen that may power smartphones in the future. This new type of foldable screen from LG hopes to fix many of the problems that currently affect foldable technology used by Samsung in its exorbitantly priced Galaxy Fold 3 and Galaxy Fold 2 phones. LG Chem says that it has come up with a new bendable material that folds like plastic but has the strength, durability and feel of glass. The screen is called the Real Folding Window and is made up of specially developed coatings. In its note, LG compares this material to tempered glass.
