TCL’s experimental phone designs include a foldable device that bends both ways and a phone with a screen that rolls out from its edges. We had the chance to see the prototypes in person ahead of Mobile World Congress.

I sure hope LG doesn’t overtake Samsung in the foldable space
TCL making phones still lol
I use the LGV60 Thinq 5G Dual Screen and I find it very useful for my daily needs. I keep the dual screen connected, all the time. I do not think I could use my phone without the extra screen anymore. I am a person that likes to keep things up front like chat messages, while doing other tasks like watching videos. For me, this would be a nice price and phone. My thoughts are more on the Pixel Fold, as that seems like a phone that will come out sooner.
Another very good use case is when I am watching a video, chatting (or working) while I am using a fordable, pocket sized keyboard with trackpad. The combination, with a phone stand, allows me to use it almost like a mini laptop that I can carry around in a purse.
CNET has hired many attractive female reviewers. I love how Michael Fisher interacts with Lexy Savvides on Twitter. I think these devices are cool but they’re just concepts. Releasing an actual product is way different.
I have a ZFold3 and I love it
Still have a TCL action camera from like 10 years ago that still works great.
foldables are a terrible concept and won’t take off
Twice we get to see it unroll, oh no we don’t, we cut to Ms. Pink hair because we clicked on this to see her not the phones right? Get off the screen lady.
LG stopped making phones
the fold roll is cool but the scratching of the screen is going to be hard.
the screen is still the weakest point of all folding and rolling screens
If you give me a “Surface duo” with a screen outside too. I’m sold! I hate the middle part of Samsung devices, I love the double screen on Surface duo
price?
are these prototypes and not real devices?
The rich sees an economic crisis as a garage sale also the rich stays rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stocks, Crypto currency and Forex trading which is the wisest thing every individual needs to do and it’s real profiting
I have only one word to say about all of this.….. PINK
No the biggest problem is durability. What good is it if it can’t stand picket use or kids .
Fold and roll would be great, but I wouldnt buy TCL’s version. They’re not established enough, I’d rather wait on Samsung. They’d definitely have to cut down on the chunkiness though, the bezels look horrific. I’m pretty sure Samsung’s variant will be very promising, this display’s quality looks subpar as of now.
Fantastic
There assholes, they could come back so strong in the USA if thy would just make something an stop playing around!!!!!!
Awsome crease🤣
Ugly phones.
Stop saying it’s a prototype!!!! Yes I know it’s not a commercial product but repeating that annoys me.
The thing is I actually CARE about how my phone looks while I’m using it. That’s why I’ll never buy an iPhone, they’re UGLY 😤
SAMSUNG is the ONLY company to make a sexy looking folding phone with the Z Fold 3 that I’ve seen to date. Let TCL actually RELEASE something worthy of going up against this Z Fold 3 at a cheaper price & of course it has GOT TO LOOK GOOD😃 & I JUST may reconsider throwing my money elsewhere. But as it stands all I see is them trying to nudge their way into a market Samsung already dominates WELL AHEAD of any other company to date. Show me something good & I might throw my dollars their way if I like what I see😃
Just like the fold 3 there goes my pants pockets🤣 the fold and roll is gonna be a chunky big boy 🤣
What is the point of these types of phones
Yeah if they can perfect the fold & roll software and do bring the fold & roll in between £700 to £800 I definitely buy 1 but my concern is protecting it from breaking especially when it turns into its tablet farm if all this can be sorted is definitely a product worth buying
The 360 had better pass Jerryrigeverything’s bend test! 😅
I’ve seen the foldable phone and the rollable phone. Unfortunately I was wondering when they would get to the idea to merge the 2 together.
🔸 separated screens that when unfolded closes the screen gaps;
🔸 the second screen elevates backforth and slides sides backforth at nano metrics joing the screens;
🔹 additional foldable screens can then expand the phone into big screen; like plug and play;
🔹 a front screen preserves the phone from folding engines stops working;
:::: foldable experience from dropping on the floor, probably indoors at tabble tops;
TCL is gonna go bankrupt! 2 years ago i was waiting for the rollable phone by TCL and STIll they dont have NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The foldable-rollable phone is the most “because we can” electronic device I have ever seen.
