Samsung reportedly working on a rollable phone

Not to be outdone by Huawei, Samsung is reportedly making an absurdly large smartphone with a new form factor.

According to a scoop by the Korean outlet The Elec (via Sammobile), Samsung is developing a smartphone with a rollable screen with the intent of launching in 2025. The phone would have a 12.4-inch display when unrolled, making it absolutely massive by smartphone standards, even bigger than the 10.2-inch tri-fold Huawei Mate XT that took the internet by storm recently.

Of course, while the Mate XT is a tri-fold phone that looks a little more like a traditional foldable (such as the ones Samsung makes), Samsung's rumored new device would theoretically roll and unroll like a piece of parchment. Except, you know, it's also a phone. Without seeing even renders of how the device would look, it's hard to speculate on exactly how it would work.

At least this potentially gives us something to look forward to in 2025.
