Forget the folding phone, because Samsung is about to launch the first rollable transparent screen phone
Since launching the first-generation Galaxy Fold phone in 2019, Samsung has become one of the pioneering brands for foldable phones.
According to statistics from market analysis firm Omdia, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G and Z Fold 3 5G are the two best-selling folding screen smartphone models in 2021, with global sales reaching 4, respectively. 6 million and 2.5 million units.
However, the ambition of the Korean technology giant does not stop at folding phones. Recently, a Samsung patent shows that the company may soon launch a smartphone with the ability to roll up.
According to the sketches published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Samsung is testing two versions of the phone with a transparent rollable screen. In it, one device has a vertically scrolling screen design, while the other scrolls horizontally. This part of the screen will serve Augmented Reality and other applications.

Currently, information about this new screen technology is still limited, and Samsung has not made any comment on this new screen technology.
In addition, recent information indicates that Samsung may be developing a mysterious foldable device to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 at the Unpacked 2022 event in August this year. While it probably won’t use scrolling screen technology, it’s still worth looking forward to.
In September 2021, Samsung also surprised the technology world when showing a smartphone prototype with a 3-fold screen.

In fact, Samsung is not the first brand to develop a device with a scrolling screen.
In 2020, LG launched a roll-up TV called the Signature OLED R, which it claims can support about 50,000 rolls. At that time, the selling price was offered at 100,000 USD (about 2.3 billion VND) for the US market.

Or like OPPO X 2021, OPPO’s world’s first flexible scrolling screen smartphone, was launched at the INNO DAY 2020 event. Although the product is impressive, to become a commercial version, it is difficult. Manufacturers will need more time to refine and develop.
