Hot on the heels of Samsung’s recent curved display smartphone announcement, LG has revealed that it too will soon launch the LG Z smartphone with a flexible display. ZDNet Korea reports that the LG Z will feature a 6-inch concave OLED display. According to the report, the smartphone is already in mass production and is “expected to be released later this month.” Both Samsung and LG have now seemingly scheduled a curved display announcement for October, but there are no firm release dates or prices so far. Considering the high cost of curved display production and the lack of consumer awareness, it is unlikely that either the LG Z or Samsung’s offering will ship in large quantities.
