Samsung’s slidable phone is still a rumor, but its dimensions might be starting to take shape
The rumored Samsung phone might switch between tall and wide form factors.
Samsung's rumored slidable phone has gained more traction in recent days, with a new rumor suggesting that its display might alter its aspect ratio. A leak on X from leaker Ice Universe indicates that Samsung is potentially working on a device that can slide its display, transitioning from a 16:9 aspect ratio to a wider 21:9 configuration.
This implies that the phone could operate in a format akin to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or the Flip 8 when unfolded, or a display similar to the Fold 8 Ultra. The concept of rollable phones, wherein the display expands vertically, is not entirely new. For over a decade, numerous rumors and even prototypes of rollable phones have circulated, with Samsung and LG often at the forefront of these rumors, despite their persistent nature.
In fact, credible reports have suggested that Samsung could potentially launch a commercial version of this innovative phone around 2028.
