LG might be bringing hover gestures back at MWC 2019

LG doesn’t want you to touch your phone again—or at least that’s what the company’s teaser for its Mobile World Congress event suggests. The teaser video shows off a hand doing new gestures and reveals the words “Goodbye Touch.” The company is expected to reveal the LG G8 and possibly a foldable phone, too. Now, we’d have to wait until next month on February 24 to find out what LG has up its sleeves.

LG may or may not launch a foldable smartphone at MWC

Could the next LG smartphone look like this ZTE Axon M?

With CES 2019 done, we’re now gearing up for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. But there’s been contradicting rumours about what one of the big companies are putting out at the show. A report claims LG has plans to release a smartphone with a foldable screen similar to what the ZTE Axon M does. LG is reportedly taking this route to help keep price down. Another report says the company plans to add the option for a second-screen attachment, which is going to be some sort of case and would then double the screen size of the phone. It isn’t clear how this will be implemented or what the device will be named. But it shows what the company might be willing to do to stay relevant in the smartphone space. We have a little over a month to hear more about this. But what implementation would you prefer? And would you even consider getting a foldable smartphone in the first place?
