Before anyone gets unnecessarily excited - NO, LG hasn't gone back on its decision to leave the smartphone business. This is just another case of unfortunate timing surrounding the rollable phone that the company teased at CES 2021. The NFC certification, as seen here, is dated January 5, at which point the Rollable or LM-R910VM, mentioned in the document in particular, was very-much still on the roadmap. Not that it really matters all that much now, seeing how the LG Rollable is destined to remain an interesting curiosity and footnote in LG's smartphone history.
