Last year we saw a bunch of foldable phones out in the wild, and we\u2019ll probably see a lot more this year. But there\u2019s already a new cool form factor on the block \u2014 rollable phones. At CES 2021, LG and TCL showed off their rollable phones \u2014 but both of them are in the early design phase.<\/p>\n

The Korean tech giant\u2019s phone, unsurprisingly called the LG Rollable, made a brief appearance in the company\u2019s keynote. However, we don\u2019t have any details about the display or when the phone will hit the market.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time LG has shown off a rollable display. Two years ago, it amazed everyone with a rollable TV at CES<\/a>, and last year it even teased the phone\u2019s flexible display<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hours after LG\u2019s demo, TCL also showed off its rollable concept phone. The company\u2019s demo video showed that this tech can increase the phone\u2019s display size from 6.7-inches to 7.8-inches with a tap of the finger. But that\u2019s all we know about TCL\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n

Rollable phones from both companies seem to be in the concept stage at this moment, and we don\u2019t know when we\u2019ll get to see them physically. And just like foldable phones, there might be an issue of durability of this kind of display when the first editions are launched in the market.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, it\u2019s an exciting rival form factor to foldables, and we might see a lot of discussion around the world of expanding screens in coming years.<\/p>\n
