A new Xiaomi patent has just surfaced online. This has revealed that the company is possibly working on a unique smartphone that features a rolling display that appears like a scroll. So here are all the details.
The Chinese tech giant’s latest patent was spotted with an application number CN307959735S. This design patent also showcases the appearance of this smartphone. The documentation carries design sketches of the device. Looking at these images, we can see that the smartphone features a columnar part on one side that houses the flexible display. This housing component has a peculiar scroll like shape that is likely due to the display that rolls into it.
In other words, it might also function similar to a scroll, with the display being pulled/rolled out of its housing. While it is interesting to imagine that Xiaomi is working on such a product, it is clear that this is still a conceptual design and not a gadget ready for mass production. Unfortunately, finer details like specifications are still unclear although this patented rolling smartphone might also feature a pop up camera module.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen such a futuristic device and we’ve already seen rollable TV’s from LG. So a rollable phone for the mass market shouldn’t be too far ahead in the future. The design is quite interesting but the structural integrity and actual usability is still doubtful. So stick around for more updates.
