Description
This may be the greatest phone that never saw the light of day. It takes everything that's great about [music] the candy bar form factor, everything that's great about a foldable, and eliminates all the downsides. >> While the rollable prototype might only expand to 7.4 inches versus the 8 inches of a Z Fold 7, >> its 3 by 2 aspect ratio means that the usable area of this screen is actually much greater, actually less noticeable crease. So, how did they do it? By using a flexible OLED panel, but instead of folding it, rolling it around the back of the device. >> Apparently, it remains usable for taking selfie pictures. Now we're getting into why this thing never got released. The screen was so soft that it could be scratched with a fingernail. And because it's not foldable, it isn't covered while it's in your pocket. It's just exposed, which would not lead to a very good user experience [music] in the longer term.
