Not just Samsung, but many cell phone manufacturers have devices in the R&D stage And now Samsung's rollable phone may be coming out of that stage and hitting the market Huawei beat Samsung to the punch with the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design, but the Korean company seems to have moved on from the trifold idea and shifted its focus to something rollable instead

The Elec reports that Samsung is hard at work on a rollable phone that will appear in 2025

According to the report, Samsung will unveil a rollable phone with a comically large 124-inch display This is much larger than Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate Design, which has a 102-inch tri-fold display Sure, 102 inches is huge, but a phone with a screen as large as a foot could be made

This size makes sense, and Samsung is showing a rollable display of the same size at its SID Display Week 2024 event It makes sense for Samsung to apply its screen technology to cell phones

Another exciting aspect of the report states that Samsung will give the phone an under-display camera, which will further add to the premium design It also states that Samsung's phone will be the world's first rollable, but there is always the possibility that another company will launch a rollable first

LG tried to make a rolling smartphone, but the company withdrew from the smartphone market before releasing the device

Huewei's tri-fold smartphones are prohibitively expensive, starting at $2,800 If Samsung releases a rolling smartphone with an even larger display, could an even more expensive device be on the horizon? Certainly, it would not be surprising to see a starting price of $3,000 or more for the Galaxy Rollable, but that remains to be seen If this report is accurate and it will be released in 2025, we will know soon enough
