Foldable smartphones are the trend of the latest generations of mobile phone devices, but are they destined to last much longer? Despite the South Korean giant is working on the foldable Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, there is the possibility that the future is ” sliding “: the latest news of a device with a rollable display, complete with images, leaves ample room for fantasy. Here’s what the possible Samsung Galaxy Z Slide could look like!
Samsung Galaxy Z Slide could be the prelude to a new trend, with a look at the past
Samsung presented a panel with an unprecedented design at the Display Supply Chain Consultant 2022 conference: to report the news is the CEO of DSCC himself, Ross Young who, with a tweet, presents a photo of the South Korean company’s window, in which it is presented the new vertical rollable display. Obviously, it is good to specify that there is no announcement regarding a smartphone, but it is a prototype of the panel.
In some ways, it could be seen as a return to a previous trend: the Oppo X 2021 concept belongs to last year, with its rollable phone design; going back even further, in 2019 Xiaomi also thought it best to patent a smartphone with an extendable display. At the moment we don’t have a commercial device with this style yet, but apparently, Samsung could really launch a Galaxy Z Slide.

Specifically, the slidable smartphone shown at the conference comes with a 6.7 ″ AMOLED display which, during normal use, offers a 16: 9 ratio, making it even more practical and compact to keep in your pocket, and which nevertheless if necessary it can turn into a 22: 9, scrolling vertically. In this way, viewing social networks such as Twitter or Instagram becomes more comfortable, increasing the visual space available.
The name of the slidable device is still unknown and the Samsung Galaxy Z Slide is obviously a fantasy. However, the level reached by the displays shown by Ross Young looks very good: will we have some surprises already this year or will we necessarily have to wait until 2023?
