“#TCL Shows Off Its Fold \u2018n Roll Concept for Future Phones \u2013 Review Geek”<\/strong><\/p>\n

After announcing several new 20-series<\/a> phones during its \u201cDisplay Your Greatness<\/a>\u201d event, TCL showed off a new Fold \u2018n Roll concept device, a smartphone that combines folding and rolling technology<\/a> to achieve three distinct form factors. TCL also announced that it\u2019s \u201con track\u201d to release its first foldable later this year.<\/p>\n

The Fold \u2018n Roll builds on concepts that we saw during CES 2021 earlier this year. It starts as a 6.87-inch smartphone, unfolds to an 8.85-inch \u201cphablet\u201d form factor, and can expand (like a scroll) to a 10-inch tablet.<\/p>\n

And unlike the tri-fold concept shown off by TCL in 2020, the Fold \u2018n Roll isn\u2019t obscenely thick or awkward to hold. It\u2019s only slightly thicker than a regular smartphone, thanks to the rolling screen technology.<\/p>\n

TCL acknowledges that the Fold \u2018n Roll needs a lot of work. Hiding nearly 5 inches of screen while in the \u201csmartphone\u201d form factor is a difficult task, so you\u2019re left with extra screen on the rear side of the device. We probably won\u2019t see the Fold \u2018n Roll hit store shelves any time soon, though TCL has working prototypes and improve the concept for a future release.<\/p>\n

At the end of its \u201cDisplay Your Greatness<\/a>\u201d livestream, TCL announced its plans to release a foldable device by the end of 2021. Pricing and design for the foldable remain unannounced, though TCL hints that it will cost less than foldables from Samsung.<\/p>\n
