News & Reviews:   rollable smartphone

vivo has reportedly filed a new patent for a smartphone with a rollable screen that can extend vertically. Unlike most previous rollable phone concepts that expand the screen sideways, vivo's patented design allows the display to be taller, rather than wider.

Samsung is expected to launch two foldable smartphones later this year, and they are the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4. Before that happens, the latest information has arrived by telling us that both devices will not bring significant design changes.

Besides the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4, Samsung might be planning to surprise us with a third folding device this year. According to a reputable tipster, Digital Chat Station, the Korean tech giant could finally decide to bring its rollable screen to the market with the mysterious device.

HUAWEI might be up to something more exciting than foldable smartphones. It is spotted that the company has filed a patent with World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO ) earlier this year for a rollable device. According to the patent, the device mainly uses magnets for the display to be extended.

Samsung is probably the most active manufacturer in the foldable smartphone segment. In 2021, the company is said to be moving on to launch a new form of device that comes with a rollable display. Before that happens, the design of the rollable smartphone might have been leaked showing something that is quite sleek.

Nowadays, many smartphone manufacturers are giving foldable devices a try with different ideas of folding style. Although the foldable smartphones are still not as popular as those standard ones, it's always exciting to see how different brands show up with their own unique foldable device. LG is a brand that is not active in the trend, but they have recently patented a smartphone that is not only foldable but also rollable.
