Samsung’s latest wild idea is a foldable, rollable, brick phone

Wait 5 sec.

TL;DRSamsung has filed a new patent that shows a unique idea for a device that looks like a brick with screens on all sides.Users will be able to unfold it and further roll out the display to get a much larger display to work with.This is just a patent filing and is unlikely to be commercially available anytime soon.Samsung’s foldable phones are nice and all, but the company clearly isn’t tired of experimenting with wild ideas. Last month, we saw Samsung file a patent for phones with rollable displays. Those ideas were exciting, sure, but the company has even more ridiculous and interesting ideas in store for us.Samsung has filed a new patent, and it probably has the strangest design for a smartphone that I’ve seen (via FixyFlow). It shows a device that looks like a weirdly elongated brick. The idea is to have a phone that’s fairly compact when in its “brick” configuration. However, Samsung is combining its foldable, bendable, and rollable display technologies to imagine a unique new type of device.
