On July 4, GizBot attended grand launch of LG Optimus G Pro in New Delhi. Where, Steve Koh, Head- Mobile Communications at LG India shared some rare insight about company's future plans. When asked about LG plans on announcing its first flexible display phone. This is what Steve Koh, LG, told us on the sidelines of Optimus G Pro launch.

"It should be around... may be mid of the next year. We're mainly focusing on Android device...we are working on the Windows version also, but mainstream is Android."

This clearly hints that LG will announce its first flexible display phone in 2014 not in the last quarter of 2013, as reported so far. At the same time, the official also divulged that the first flexible display phone might come running on Android platform.

But you never know, if the company decides to make some last minute changes, as LG is also working on Windows version of smartphone.

Just for your information, apart from LG, another player, Samsung is working on mass production of OLED displays. The makers behind Galaxy Note 2 had already demoed flexible OLED phone at CES 2013. Though, the phone is still in a prototype form, but sooner or later it will enter production stage. However, now it is largely believed that due to production issues Samsung first flexible display phone has been delayed.
