Not only Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung will also launch "scroll" phones

According to related reports, Samsung secretly showed off a scroll design prototype that uses a flexible OLED screen, which has a special structure that allows the originally curled OLED screen to expand at the press of a button, greatly increasing the screen display area of the device. It is said that in order to solve the problem of protecting the flexible screen surface, Samsung does not use traditional glass, but uses polyimide (Polyimide).

In fact, Samsung showed off a mobile phone design similar to the current Galaxy Fold as early as 2013, and then applied for a reel phone design patent in 2015. It is estimated that Samsung will only show technology to potential customers this time, which may be related to the fact that the technology is not yet fully mature, which also means that Samsung reel phones may not be launched in the near future.
