The details of these devices are not disclosed, but the patents for two of LG’s foldable devices gave some details about design. The first design shows a device made out of two bodies which share a single large display. When the phone is open, you will get a tablet-sized display. When it is closed, you will have access to a smaller device similar to a traditional smartphone. The front of the devices have a screen which can provide additional information such as notifications.

The second version is mostly the same, but features a sliding back panel which can be moved to reveal a portion of the main display used for notifications, messages, and other features.
