<\/p>\n

Motorola<\/span> just announced a new concept for a rollable smartphone with a screen that expands and contracts with the press of a button. The company demonstrated the device at Lenovo Tech World, and it’s the latest example of how tech companies are experimenting with ways to push the modern smartphone forward.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lenovo’s rollable phone concept has a 5-inch screen that can extend to 6.5 inches when unfolded. That makes it more compact than even the iPhone 13 Mini<\/span> when in its small mode, and almost the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/span> when fully expanded. The company has no plans to release the device yet since it’s just in the concept stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement comes after Motorola announced the third-generation Razr<\/span> in China in August. Prolific smartphone leaker Evan Blass had previously reported that Motorola was in the early stages of developing a rollable smartphone, as he posted on the blog 91Mobiles<\/a> in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motorola’s approach to rollable smartphones differs from some of the other concepts we’ve seen so far. Companies like Samsung<\/span> and TCL<\/span>, for example, have developed concept devices with screens that expand horizontally rather than vertically to switch between smartphone and tablet mode. But with its concept, Motorola aims to provide a smartphone that can switch screen sizes depending on the situation rather than developing a smartphone-tablet hybrid.<\/p>\n

But it will likely be a while before you’ll be able to buy a rollable phone, similar to the way companies like Samsung showcased foldable phone concepts years before the first Galaxy Fold arrived. But Ross Young, co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, thinks rollables could address some of the shortcomings of today’s large-format foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold<\/span> line.<\/p>\n

“I think the rollable concept has a lot of potential to replace that book-type device in my mind because it’s going to be a lot thinner,” he said in a previous interview. “And it should be a lot lighter.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although Motorola’s first foldable Razr<\/a> received plenty of attention when it launched in 2019, Samsung is the industry leader when it comes to foldable phones. Samsung accounts for 62% of the global foldable phone market, while Huawei landed in second place with 16%, according to Counterpoint Research<\/a>. That same report also suggests the market for foldable phones is expected to grow by 73% in 2022, indicating that consumers may be growing more receptive to phones with screens that can bend, fold and eventually roll.\u00a0<\/p>\n
