TL;DR
- A new patent filed by Samsung shows the company is still working on the idea of phones with rollable displays.
- The filing shows two ideas for phones with a rolling screen.
- This is just a patent filing at this stage, and it’s not likely to become a commercial product.
Samsung was one of the first major smartphone makers to bring foldable phones to the market with the Galaxy Fold. It wasn’t the smoothest of stories, but it led to the company’s hugely popular Z Fold and Z Flip series.
So what’s next after folding phones, you ask? How about phones with a rollable display? Yes, Samsung seems to be playing around with the idea of a phone with a screen that rolls out, according to a new patent it filed (h/t WearView).
