3 articles · Updated · Mashable · Jun 29

Summary

  • Samsung Display is in talks to supply panels for a rollable smartphone being developed by Samsung Electronics, pointing to a possible commercial launch in the first half of 2028.
  • Omdia expects the device—reportedly called the Z Slide—to use a 10-inch rollable screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 440.6 ppi resolution.
  • A successor is already being planned for 2030, suggesting Samsung is mapping out a longer product line rather than a one-off concept.
  • Samsung is pushing beyond foldables after leading the Z Fold and Z Flip market, though rollable phones have repeatedly stalled across the industry, including LG's abandoned 2021 effort.
