LG reveals its foldable smartphone look like Laptop, LG Gram Fold

The first folding laptop, the "LG Gram Fold," was recently unveiled in South Korea by electronics giant LG Electronics. The organization's 'Gram' series technologies and design are used in the most recent laptop.

A 17-inch high-resolution OLED touch screen with a 4:3 screen ratio and great color and visual quality with 99.5% of the DCI-P3 color standard is available on the LG Gram Fold. The thin and flexible are made possible by OLED technology. The laptop's screen has a 17-inch diagonal size when opened, and a 12-inch diagonal size when closed.

The laptop weights 1.25 kilos, which is significantly more than the majority of LG Gram laptops, which typically weigh about 1 kilogram, despite having all this technology.
