If already foldable phones weren’t all the rage, rollable phones are going to make it even more exciting. OPPO X 2021 revealed at the Inno Day 2020 was a glimpse of what’s coming, while other major smartphone players like LG, Samsung and TCL are also working under the wraps for their versions of a rollable phone. The future is looking exciting, as now, Xiaomi has also joined the race with its extendable smartphone having rollable display.
According to a patent filed by the Chinese company, the new rollable phone is fitted with a retractable display, moving on the chassis’ support mechanism. Pretty similar to the X 2021, this is called Xiaomi Mi Alpha R, having a wider profile when fully retracted (almost 200 percent in width), just like that of a tablet.
