Samsung was recently granted a patent for a new sliding smartphone that features a display that rolls out and extends, which offers us a look at what the Galaxy Z Roll (or possible the Galaxy Z Slide) might look like.
According to a LetsGoDigital report, the South Korean tech giant filed for the patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) back in November 2020. This application was granted earlier this month and showcases a sliding smartphone that has an extending display. In its compact form, the supposed Galaxy Z Roll resembles a conventional smartphone with an under display camera on the front and a triple camera on the rear.
Although, the device also sports a motorized mechanism under the hood that allows it to slide out and extend the display from one side. While the sliding display is undoubtedly its most highlighting feature, the smartphone also sports a heart rate monitor on the rear camera module as well. Meanwhile, the front also houses an in display fingerprint scanner, while the front display also houses an illuminance sensor and proximity sensor underneath the screen.
Unfortunately, it is unknown if Samsung is actually working on such a smartphone or is just covering all bases. But looking at the degree of details in the patent, this might be one of the prototype designs of what could be the Galaxy Z Roll. However, this is just speculation so take this with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates regarding this device.
