Samsung Developing ‘Double-Foldable’ and ‘Rollable’ Smartphones, Not Launching Anytime Soon: Report
Samsung is reportedly working on a two new form factor for its foldable display such as double-foldable and rollable smartphones. The devices will likely to be launched next year or later.
South Korea, August 26: Samsung already has launched its foldable smartphones - Galaxy Z Fol6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 in the market this year. The South Korean tech giant first launched its foldable smartphone Samsung Galaxy Fold in the market in 2019. However, as per a new report, the company has been working on new designs that will include double-foldable and rollable smartphones.
According to a report by Tech Radar, Samsung has been developing new form factor products which will include next-gen foldable smartphones having rollable designs and double-foldable options. While other tech giants like Apple are still waiting to launch their foldable smartphones, Samsung aims to push its current boundaries to bring a new level of mobile technology to the people.
