TL;DR<\/p>\n
A new patent filed by Samsung shows the company is still working on the idea of phones with rollable displays.
\nThe filing shows two ideas for phones with a rolling screen.
\nThis is just a patent filing at this stage, and it\u2019s not likely to become a commercial product.<\/p>\n
Samsung was one of the first major smartphone makers to bring foldable phones to the market with the Galaxy Fold<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t the smoothest of stories, but it led to the company\u2019s hugely popular Z Fold and Z Flip series.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s next after folding phones, you ask? How about phones with a rollable display? Yes, Samsung seems to be playing around with the idea of\u00a0a phone with a screen that rolls out, according to a\u00a0new patent<\/a> it filed (h\/t WearView<\/a>).<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n However, this new patent has some interesting ideas. Of course, it starts off simple with a phone that has a sliding display. According to the drawings submitted in the filing, this could look like a regular smartphone. However, you\u2019d be able to pull at the screen and make it wider, so it\u2019d resemble a Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a> more than a Galaxy S26.<\/p>\n While that in itself is a fun thought to entertain, the other idea that Samsung filed is even more interesting. According to the diagrams in the patent filing, the idea is to have a phone with two parts that, when closed, hide the display entirely. This is to \u201creduce damage to the display module.\u201d But pull at either end of the phone, and out slides a display! At least, theoretically.<\/p>\n Per Samsung\u2019s description, the device will include sensors that will let it know how much of the display has been rolled out, the speed at which it was rolled out, and many other details that will undoubtedly help the phone display its UI, apps, and everything else properly.<\/p>\n Of course, this is just a patent filing right now. Companies file patents all the time for products that often never make it to production. It goes without saying that spotting this patent doesn\u2019t mean that Samsung is actively working on a phone with a rollable display.<\/p>\n However, the ideas Samsung is clearly thinking about are nice, and having a phone that\u2019s not a phone until you manually pull it apart is something I would love to see. They could even call it the Galaxy Z Roll\u2019d.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
