After Samsung, its South Korean rival LG has hinted at launching foldable smartphones.
On Nov 21, the smartphone maker has applied for three brand name registrations – "Flex", "Foldi" and "Duplex" – at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), reports endagadget.com.
However, it was not clear if the names would be used for a smartphone or any other device.
"The first two, 'Flex' and 'Foldi', are pretty straightforward and in sync with Samsung's Galaxy F and Huawei's Flexi/Flex trademarks.
"'Duplex', on the other hand, is an interesting choice by LG, especially considering that Google is using the word for its AI call-making feature that just started rolling out to users," said a PhoneArena report.
