TCL has unveiled its stunning concept design of a foldable and rollable phone during the DTC 2021 technology congress in China.
The prototype of the device was displayed during the event in China and a Twitter user has not posted a video of the futuristic and innovative TCL concept phone.
The Twitter video captured a fully functional TCL device reflecting the new standout features.
It is unclear if the device will become a commercial product if indeed it will become so. But TCL is aggressively optimistic about the potential launch of the device at a later date.
The graphics of the phone’s display however seems to not be at par with the new form factor that is introduced by the foldable and rollable features.
Apart from the observed optimization issues, the foldable and rollable display of the phone was demonstrated in the video.
As the screen unfolded, its left part was extended by rolling to transform the device into a full-fledged tablet.
The outward folding functionality maintains a standard-looking 6.87″ display for the phone which can then be extended between 8.55″ and 10″. The concept is great for having a pocket-sized phone that can be easily transformed into a tablet, its durability potential is not known as it contains multiple moving parts that could make it to be fragile and susceptible to rapid wear.
The hinges of the expandable display need to be firmed up for the device to be a marketing success. Specs-wise, not much is known about the TCL concept foldable and rollable phone although it could have an OLED panel with a high refresh rate of up to 240Hz.
Pricing of such revolutionary devices could be on the higher side, especially in the absence of competition. The new TCL concept device, if it becomes a reality, will compete with some early leaders in the field such as Samsung.
