Samsung more than any other company has pushed foldable phones into the mainstream, with its latest models \u2013 the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6<\/a> \u2013 being among the best and most polished foldables yet. But next year, the company might change its focus to a new type of phone \u2013 one that rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is according to South Korean site The Elec (via NotebookCheck), which claims that Samsung is working on a phone with a 12.4-inch rollable screen, and that this handset may apparently be launched in the second half of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site additionally claims that it will have an under-display camera, so you get an uninterrupted display. That much at least is very believable, since Samsung has already equipped some of its phones with under-display cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, will we truly get a tablet-sized rollable phone from Samsung next year? It\u2019s certainly possible. The technology for this already exists anyway, as we\u2019ve seen rollable concept phones in the past. This is also a logical next step after foldable phones, which Samsung has arguably come close to perfecting at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, Huawei recently launched a tri-fold phone, which is a design Samsung doesn\u2019t yet offer, and which allows for a much larger screen than a conventional foldable phone, in this case one of 10.2 inches. Since Samsung wasn\u2019t first to offer that design, it could make sense for the company to instead look to be the first with a commercially available rollable phone, packing an even larger screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, we haven\u2019t heard much about Samsung\u2019s possible rollable phone yet, and the second half of 2025 is still a long way off, so we wouldn\u2019t yet count on seeing it then, if at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If such a device does launch, though, it may well do so alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which we\u2019d still expect Samsung to launch, since the company has found success with foldables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, we\u2019re expecting the Samsung Galaxy S25 line to launch in or around January, so those are the next major Samsung phones to look forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
