Forget foldables: TCL shows off the first ‘rollable’ phone concept

tcl foldable rollable phone concept

While the likes of Samsung and Motorola have their own thoughts about what's next for foldable phones, TCL has a vision of its own -- and its vision is a little different from the rest. Turns out, the leaked images from a few weeks ago were correct -- the company does indeed have a phone with a display that seemingly stretches as needed.

It's currently only a concept, and of course, the display doesn't actually stretch. Instead, it rolls into the back of the phone to make for a 6.75-inch display when in the "closed" position, and unrolls into a larger 7.8-inch display when in the "open" position. It sounds confusing, but thankfully TCL has released a short video showing off how it would work.

Qualcomm announced the XR2 virtual reality platform at its Snapdragon Summit in December, but now the company is revealing a new reference design for the chipset. The design was built by electronics company Goertek, and shows off a number of the chipset's capabilities -- including support for up to seven cameras.

The headset itself looks like previous-generation VR headsets, but it offers a whole lot more performance under the hood. Notably, the headset supports 5G connectivity, along with two times the CPU and GPU performance, four times the video bandwidth, and six times the resolution of headsets powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mixed reality platform.

The Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung's rumored next foldable phone, is apparently nearing its launch, as an alleged leaked video that shows off the device's folding screen has surfaced.

Leaked high-resolution renders of the Galaxy Z Flip from WinFuture featured the front and back of the smartphone, and confirmed the 1.06-inch second display located next to the camera sensors. The main 6.7-inch display, with a resolution of 2636 x 1080, is said to be made from a new "ultrathin glass" instead of the more fragile plastic found in its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
