Samsung has unveiled a new concept smartphone featuring an expandable display. The device was shown at a private event for industry partners and media. This phone can stretch its screen outward to reveal more viewing area without needing a second screen or fold mechanism.

The expanded display grows from 6.3 inches to 7.6 inches with a simple slide motion. Samsung says the design aims to give users a tablet-like experience in a pocket-sized form. Engineers worked on making the screen durable while keeping it thin and flexible.
The prototype uses a special type of ultra-thin glass and a custom hinge system. These parts let the screen roll out smoothly and stay flat when extended. Samsung claims the display maintains brightness and color accuracy in both states.
Battery life was a key focus during development. The team added a dual-cell battery that adjusts power use based on screen size. Charging speed remains fast even with the larger display active.
Samsung did not share a release date or price. The company said it is still testing user feedback and technical performance. This concept is part of Samsung’s ongoing work on next-generation mobile form factors.
Other features include a rear camera system that works in both modes and software that adapts apps to the changing screen size. The phone runs on Samsung’s latest interface built for variable displays.
The idea builds on years of research into flexible screens. Samsung first showed rollable display tech in 2021 but never released a product. Now the company is closer to turning the idea into something real.
