In the movie Red Planet, a scrollable map/imaging device was used to show the astronauts's location on Mars. Seems this may be the way to go regarding compact but large screen displays that have numerous advantages over folding phone tech created by Motorola and Samsung.
To whit ...
Much of the attention around foldables has been focused on the hinge and getting the display to fold down completely. That's why the Mate X folds outward, and why the Galaxy Fold has an unsightly gap in the middle. The clamshell Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr use different hinges to minimize the actual turn radius, but they don't actually fold flat.
A scrollable phone would avoid that issue. Because it would roll out, there'd be no need for it to fold completely shut or for a fancy hinge to get around the crease issue. There wouldn't be creases.
It would also scroll down to a phone that's a normal size.
Works for me.
Where the scrollable concept originally came from circa 2000.
