Yesterday Samsung shared a video demonstrating its progress in the display and one of the concepts it showcased was a roll-up unit. As we all know, concepts don’t always make it into the real world, but a new trademark registered by EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), Samsung might take this very seriously.
The company registered the name Z Roll, signaling its commitment to the project. The document also suggests that the Z Roll will support the S-Pen. It might be too optimistic to expect Samsung’s rollable phone to release this year, but hopefully next. It will be interesting to see which company releases their roll-up phone version first. Oppo and TCL showed prototypes when LG was closest, but its exit from the smartphone market meant the project was scrapped.
