Vivo and Transsion team up to launch world's first roll-screen mobile phone

News on October 9th showed that Chinese smartphone manufacturer vivo and Transsion plan to cooperate to develop the world’s first roll-screen mobile phone. The plan is expected to be completed before the end of next year. A roll-screen mobile phone refers to a smartphone that can be partially unfolded. The user only needs to press the operation button, and the hidden screen will quickly unfold, thus enlarging the screen size.

According to our understanding, Transsion released a mobile phone in September last year A scroll-screen concept phone called “Techno Phantom Ultimate”. After pressing the top button, the phone's 6.55-inch screen can be expanded to 7.11 inches in just 1.2 to 1.3 seconds, with a high resolution of 2296×1596 pixels and a pixel density of 388PPI, while supporting 100% DCI-P3 Color gamut coverage. In addition, the back of the phone is also designed with a small screen that can be used as an information screen display, and the anti-slip stripe design provides a better grip

According to reports, there are reports about scroll screen mobile phones Sources in the supply chain say that vivo’s roll-screen mobile phones may choose CSOT or Samsung Display as the screen panel supplier. In particular, China Star Optoelectronics is expected to be more active in providing screen panel support for vivo

The reason why Chinese smartphone companies are actively developing roll-screen mobile phones is that they have realized the difficulty of surpassing Samsung in the foldable mobile phone market. Although Samsung Electronics is also developing roll-screen mobile phones and other forms of products, it is still focused on expanding its market share of foldable mobile phones. Therefore, if Samsung Electronics launches a roll-screen mobile phone, it may divert resources originally used for the research and development of foldable mobile phones

Samsung is not the first company in the world to launch a foldable mobile phone . As early as 2019, Samsung Electronics released its first foldable mobile phone Galaxy Fold, while Chinese company Royole released the world's first foldable phone "FlexPai" about a year ago.

This news shows that competition in the field of roll-screen mobile phones will become more intense, and the cooperation project between vivo and Transsion is expected to bring more innovation and choices to consumers.
