The claim
Samsung is working on a phone with a vertically rolling display that extends from a 16:9 to a 21:9 aspect ratio, with battery capacity as the main challenge because of the sliding mechanism.
Why we rated it Rumor
From leaker Ice Universe, who has a good Samsung record, relayed by GSMArena. It fits Samsung's 'Galaxy Z Roll' trademark, a side-rolling patent and a June rumor of a rollable in the first half of 2028, but there is no timing, model name or Samsung comment.
