Samsung reportedly developing rollable Galaxy Z Roll with 10-inch display, launch expected 2027-2028
Samsung is said to be working on a rollable smartphone that can expand to a 10-inch OLED screen, with a possible release window between 2027 and early 2028.
Samsung is reportedly developing a new rollable smartphone, tentatively called the Galaxy Z Roll or Galaxy Z Slide, that would feature a flexible OLED display capable of extending to roughly 10 inches. The device would combine the portability of a phone with the larger screen area of a tablet, using Samsung Display’s Flex Hybrid and Rollable Flex technologies.
According to the rumors, the expanded screen could offer a resolution of about 440 PPI and a 16:9 aspect ratio, aimed at delivering sharp visuals for video, gaming and productivity tasks. The design is said to allow smooth transitions between compact and extended modes, enhancing usability for varied scenarios.
Industry observers note that Samsung’s effort comes as Chinese manufacturers increase activity in foldable and rollable display markets. Samsung’s history with foldable products such as the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip is cited as a factor that may help it retain a leading position.
The rollout is expected in the first half of 2028, with some reports suggesting an earlier launch in 2027. Samsung is also rumored to be planning a successor around 2030, indicating a longer-term focus on rollable screen technology.
