            PanRT, 26 Aug 2024Why no rollable? I Wait on rollable.Smaller battery, less durable.

Also, the mechanism isn't that slow anyway and can be more robust than a foldable screen.

                      Lmao. Great 2x the co.olaints for 2x the creases not being completely invisible and a camera setup that's half covered by hands lol

                      Yeah this avenue is really smart ROFLMAO!
                      IF an oem is thinking this route skip it and go rollable please.

                        YUKI93, 26 Aug 2024I get the point on why Huawei and Xiaomi are working on a t... moreJust my opinion, but the clips I've seen from rolling screens, they are SLOW! Like you pick up your phone for using the big screen, and you have to wait for 5-6 s for it to be completely rolled out. And again just my opinion, they will not feet solid, and we probably lose the support of stylus, while even the thin V3 support it!

                          Not surprising. They usually follow Huawei's lead closely

                            People: "Popups cameras have moving parts and are prone to breaking!"
                            Also people: "Foldables? Amazing!"

                              Zaini, 26 Aug 2024Rollable not user friendly. With today's smartphone ne... moreNo, it doesn't. Going from a smartphone aspect ratio to a mini tablet aspect ratio takes many centimetres, let alone a normal tablet aspect ratio. Also, you can have infinite screen sizes with rollable screens. Try doing that on foldable screens with fixed sizes.

                                  I can see this taking time.
                                  Who has the oldest fold-able,
                                  and what's it look like?

                                    I am waiting more of the future where our phones will be the watch on our hand and the screen be holographic
