Samsung’s upcoming rollable smartphone has generated excitement due to its innovative design and compact form factor. Its primary objective is to provide a device that easily fits in a pocket, yet can expand into a larger screen ideal for watching videos or playing games. This transformation is facilitated by a simple mechanism that allows the device to flourish from its pocket-sized state almost instantly. The rollable phone’s design includes thin bezels, giving it a sleek appearance, although its stretching mechanism adds some bulk compared to other Samsung models.
The device also features two lenses along with a flash, resembling the rear camera setup found on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The images circulating were created by DomoAI in collaboration with @xleaks7, based on a recent patent filed by Samsung. In addition to its unique design, the phone is expected to come equipped with advanced AI functionalities. These features include instant translation, which would allow users to communicate seamlessly in different languages, providing immediate translations on the display.
Other anticipated AI enhancements are summarizing lengthy messages and reminding users about upcoming appointments. The ability to modify photographs, such as removing unwanted elements or adjusting colors, will greatly benefit from the phone’s expandable screen. Moreover, the AI capabilities will streamline photography by automatically optimizing settings for different scenes—ensuring that users can simply point and shoot without manual adjustments. For gaming enthusiasts, the rollable device may include systems for managing power and heat to enhance performance.
While Huawei’s tri-fold Mate XT has been a significant topic of discussion in foldable technology, the rollable design—also explored by Motorola—might prove to be more appealing when both devices arrive on the market. The current render showcases the device in its closed form, leaving the full extent of its expanded size to the imagination.
