When it comes to smartphone manufacturers, Samsung is the leading competitor in the world of foldable devices. The recently surfaced patent from Samsung reveals their work on a rollable display. The newest hybrid device from Samsung combines kind of both foldable and rollable characteristics.
Samsung is about to release a rollable tablet
The book-style foldable devices are among the most innovating mobile technologies today but they are not highly efficient. Foldable devices come with two different screens, external and internal, and you cannot use one screen while using the other. The presence of two screens partially makes the foldable devices unnecessarily thick.
Samsung’s rollable tablet
Samsung’s upcoming rollable device essentially resembles a tablet as it’s been revealed in the images. This rollable device is pretty much like an iPad mini alternative, a tablet that can fit in your pocket but have a huge display at the same time with the help of a slide mechanism added to enable you to use the device’s full potential.
According to a post shared by Calibre cleaning and @xleaks7 on Twitter, Samsung is working on a rollable device. In Samsung’s upcoming rollable device, there is only one display. When you prefer to use a larger display, you can simply slide the OLED panel kept hidden inside the device, eliminating the need for two separate displays to have a larger screen.
