Last year, some hints were already given about the future of mobile phones, which seem to have to do with rollable screens in order to take a big step forward from foldable screens like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. And it seems that Next year will be the one chosen by the Korean manufacturer to be the first to launch a mobile phone with this very interesting form factor.
Just a few days ago, Huawei surprised everyone by commercially launching a mobile phone triple (which folds twice) with the Huawei Mate several manufacturers pushing hard to bring other experiences very different from the more normal or flat format of a smartphone.
And it looks like the rollable mobile phone is becoming a real product next year according to The Elec through Android Authority. Korean media claims that Samsung develops a rollable mobile with a 12.4-inch screen when fully extended.
Another of its details is found in the front camera for selfies which would be located just below the screensimilar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, so in this aspect the Korean manufacturer already has experience to make this rollable mobile phone a surprise.
Media reports have suggested that Samsung’s new device could see the light of day in the second half of 2025which would make it the first rollable mobile launched commercially by a company. And it is not a completely new format, since OPPO, LG or TECNO have already shown their roll-ups; OPPO did it in 2021, while TECNO last year with a concept and LG did the same when it finally decided to leave the smartphone market in 2021.
The future of Samsung’s rollable mobile phone has more to do with the problems the company has with its foldable phones, as they are “stuck” in terms of specifications compared to a competition that offers more interesting proposals in terms of hardware and design; This happens with the HONOR Magic V3 and its thickness.
And that’s it Samsung focuses on discounts at the production level to increase profits, as The Elec recently cited in another report. The arrival of a rollable mobile phone in 2025 could attract the attention of users who expect something more than their foldable phone.
