    Samsung’s Latest Rollable Device Spotted Going from Fold to Roll

    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 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.

    What are your thoughts on foldable and rollable devices? Would you like to have a “rollable tablet”? While Chinese OEMs have been striving to reduce the thickness of foldable devices, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series still has a bulky design, maybe Samsung is preparing to introduce a device with a perfect rollable design to the market.

  • Lenovo Introduces Ultrawide Rollable Display Laptop Concept With New Patent

    Lenovo Introduces Ultrawide Rollable Display Laptop Concept With New Patent

    Imagine a laptop that transforms its screen from standard size to an ultra-wide screen whenever you need it. This futuristic concept is no longer just science fiction, thanks to a recent patent granted to Lenovo. This patent unveils a groundbreaking design for a laptop boasting a rollable display, potentially revolutionizing the way we work and consume content on the go.

    How does this work?

    The core of this innovation lies in a flexible screen embedded within the laptop’s body. This screen consists of fixed and movable parts that can seamlessly extend and retract, adjusting the screen size based on your needs.

    Lenovo’s Previous Innovations

    This isn’t the first time Lenovo has shown interest in rollable laptops. Last year at MWC, Lenovo already showcased a unique prototype laptop featuring a rollable OLED screen. The 13-inch rollable laptop offers a 12.7-inch display in its compact form, but it can expand vertically to a larger 15.3-inch size with the press of a button.

    But why is this such a big deal? Well, traditional laptops, despite their undeniable portability, often suffer from limited-screen real estate. This can be a major pain point for multitaskers, creative professionals, or anyone who simply enjoys having more screen space. Lenovo’s rollable display technology addresses this issue head-on, offering a dynamic solution that adapts to your workflow.

    Potential of Rollable Laptops

    The benefits go beyond just a bigger screen. Imagine using the extended display for side-by-side document editing, indulging in a cinematic movie experience, or even enjoying an expansive gaming world without compromising portability. The possibilities are truly endless.

    Of course, this technology is still in its early stages. While rollable smartphones might hit the market sooner, foldable and rollable laptops present unique engineering challenges. However, the potential is undeniable. If Lenovo can overcome these hurdles and make these laptops accessible at reasonable prices, they could disrupt the traditional laptop market in a major way.

    Upcoming Lenovo Concept

    Lenovo also plans to unveil a transparent laptop concept at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (2024). Leaked images reveal a bezel-less display with the main components housed in a non-transparent base. The laptop appears to support a stylus and runs Windows 11. Key details like specs and release date remain unknown, but more information is expected at MWC.
