  • LG will reportedly launch its rollable phone in March 2021.
  • The company previously teased the design at the LG Wing launch.

Rumors and an official tease point to LG launching a rollable smartphone some time in the future, dubbed Project B for now. This is said to offer a slide-out screen on the side that could enable a tablet-sized experience in your pocket.

Now, Korean outlet The Elec reports that this rollable smartphone will launch in March 2021. This echoes the “early 2021” launch window touted by the publication earlier this year.

There isn’t much else to know about the Project B device just yet, but it’s believed that LG will produce the device itself rather than relying on an original design manufacturer (ODM). Speaking of ODMs, The Elec claims that the LG Velvet 2 — or whatever the successor is called — will be outsourced.

Waiting for a more traditional high-end device? Well, the publication notes that LG’s next flagship phone, code-named Rainbow, will be launched in Q1 2021. It suggests that the new phone will be equivalent to the LG V series in terms of specifications. So we’d expect a Snapdragon 875 chipset and other flagship garnishings.

Nevertheless, between the rollable phone, Velvet 2, and Rainbow, it looks like LG might have a varied lineup in 2021. The rollable phone in particular could be a great answer to foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 2, offering a large screen on demand. Hopefully the slide-out screen is more durable than foldable phones though.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
