After proving its innovations in foldable smartphones, the South Korean consumer electronics corporation appears to be setting its sights on a new frontier – A rollable phone.
Samsung Looking To Launch A Rollable Smartphone
Already the smartphone brand has dominated the foldable market with the already launched devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
But now, the company is reportedly developing a phone with a 12.4-inch rollable display.
This new device is anticipated to be launched in the second half of 2025.
This would potentially signal the next step in smartphone evolution.
Recently, South Korean sources hinted at features like an under-display camera, offering users an uninterrupted viewing experience.
A Natural Progression For Samsung
When it comes to the rollable display, this step towards the development of rollable phones seems like a natural progression for Samsung.
The brand has been perfecting foldable phones in recent years.
Coming to the rollable technology, it already exists, and concept phones with similar designs have been showcased in the past.
Basically, this suggests that Samsung could be ready to make this idea a commercial reality.
It is noteworthy here that the company wasn’t the first to market with a tri-fold phone.
As it can be witnessed with Huawei’s recent release as it is already positioning itself as the pioneer in rollable phones, with an even larger display than the competition.
As per the speculations, a 12.4-inch screen could be a game-changer, offering more screen real estate than any foldable device currently on the market.
It will take several months before a possible launch.
But, Samsung’s rollable phone could debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is expected to be another major release.
As far as foldable phones are concerned, they have been a success for Samsung.
So, it seems that the smartphone makers will continue to explore that category while also pushing forward with new technologies.
Notably, the details remain scarce, and a launch date in late 2025 is still uncertain.
Meanwhile, Samsung enthusiasts can look forward to the Galaxy S25 series which is expected to be launched in January 2025, marking the next significant addition to the company’s smartphone line-up.
