Recent reports suggest we shouldn't hold our breath for another G Flex from LG, but the Korean firm might not be through with curved phones just yet, Digital Spy said.

Twitter tipster Evan Blass claims that the company is working on a radically different breed of curved-screen handset.

"LG's also got a handset with [a] curved display in the works - but this one wraps over the top of the device," he wrote.

Blass's remarks suggest that LG is developing a phone with a malleable display that folds back over on itself.

The company has previously showcased prototype projector screens and TV panels with similar properties.

LG launched two generations of its curved G Flex smartphone, but the latest reports appear to indicate that this was a proof-of-concept device that will pave the way for something different.
