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 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.
Samsung’s foldable & rollable tablet
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.

Samsung Flagships Including Galaxy S23 Poised to Integrate Galaxy AI Features Soon
Samsung has already confirmed that not all phones receiving the One UI 6.1 update will immediately gain the suite of AI features seen on the Galaxy S24.
Initial Compatibility List
The initial compatibility list, as confirmed by Samsung officials, has revealed that the new AI features will be restricted to flagship devices released in 2023.
The company has stated that the Galaxy S23 series (including the S23 FE), Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 will eventually receive these AI capabilities. Looks like the company has taken the first step to preparing this rollout for smartphones.
Samsung On-Device Resource App Update
The company has seemingly updated the Samsung On-Device Resource app on the Galaxy Store whose description suggests new AI features will make use of it.
The app, which previously managed speech-to-text functionality for Bixby and the Samsung Keyboard, now provides the processing power for several of the S24’s new AI features.
For instance, the app includes features for real-time call translation and converting voice recordings to text. Now that the app is available on older flagships like the Z Fold 5 and S23 means that the One UI 6.1 update might be coming soon.
Potential Limitations
Whether Samsung will include these AI features directly within the One UI 6.1 update or release them separately remains to be seen.
However, things don’t look promising for users of the Galaxy S22 series or older Samsung flagship devices who want to access the new Galaxy AI features. The new Samsung On-Device Resource app update is reportedly only available on the mentioned older models, leaving the S22 series potentially without access.
Anyway, we will continue to provide further updates on this matter as the information becomes available.

First Company to Place 2nm Chip Manufacturing Order: Samsung
Samsung has announced a significant agreement with Preferred Networks (PFN) to collaborate on the production of 2nm AI chips. This move comes as a surprise, as PFN had previously been working with TSMC. The shift to Samsung’s manufacturing process marks an important step for both companies.
Samsung’s Preparation for 2nm Chips
Preferred Networks, a renowned artificial intelligence company, has partnered with Samsung to prepare for the production of 2nm AI chips. While the performance of Samsung’s 2nm manufacturing technique remains unknown, the South Korean company has been consistently improving year after year. The reason behind PFN’s switch from TSMC to Samsung is still unclear, but it is possible that Samsung offered a more affordable chip production option.
Samsung’s Pursuit of Performance and Efficiency
Traditionally, Samsung has lagged behind TSMC in terms of performance and efficiency. However, with the implementation of the 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology, Samsung aims to close the gap and achieve the desired results. This development is expected to bring significant improvements to the Exynos SOC used in smartphones. The upcoming Exynos 2500, which is anticipated to have a 10-core structure, is eagerly awaited. There are also rumors that the Exynos 2500 may feature ARM’s Cortex-X5 core.

Possible absence of Galaxy S24 Ultra’s rumored 200MP primary sensor on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Earlier, tipster Revegnus reported that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 will offer the same 50MP ISOCELL GN3 image sensor as the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Ice Universe, another tipster also confirmed that Samsung’s upcoming book-style foldable won’t bring any camera improvements. But recently some sources including the tipster Revegnus reported about the possibilities for the Z Fold 6 to come with the same 200MP main camera sensor as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: Stick with 50MP Sensor or Upgrade to 200MP?
However, GalaxyClub, a trusted source, says “so far Samsung is planning a 50 megapixel main camera – the same as in the Samsung Galaxy S24.”
Possible Reason for Sticking with 50MP Sensor
The 200MP main sensor of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is quite large, and there are also talks about the Z Fold 6 getting even thinner. According to some sources, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will use a new hinge design that allows the phone to be about 11 mm thin when closed. For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 measures 13.4 mm when closed. It seems challenging to fit the sensor within that slim form factor, as a larger sensor results in a longer focal length, thereby increasing the protrusion of the camera module.
Comparison with OnePlus Open
The OnePlus Open looks somewhat similar to some mainstream flagships in terms of its camera module protrusion, mostly because of the relatively larger 64MP sensor for its 3x telephoto and a thickness of 11.7 mm when closed. For context, the sensor size for the 3x telephoto (70mm equivalent) inside the OnePlus Open is 1/2.0″ (as reported by GSMArena), which is significantly larger than the 10MP telephoto sensor of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Using the significantly bigger 1/1.3″, 200MP sensor for the main camera will increase the camera module protrusion on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, altering its design aesthetics.
Nonetheless, this is how the design evolves sometimes, and we will have to see if Samsung decides to put their absolute best camera sensor inside its upcoming folding phone.
