CES 2026 showcased innovative laptops including highly repairable models like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition, versatile dual-screen devices like the Asus Zenbook Duo, and futuristic prototypes such as the Lenovo ThinkPad Rollable XD, highlighting advancements in design, portability, and functionality.
At CES 2026, Lenovo unveiled the ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept, a flexible laptop with a rollable OLED display that expands from 13.3 to 15.9 inches, featuring a transparent lid showcasing its mechanics and offering additional workspace and productivity features.
Samsung is set to release the Galaxy Z Roll 5G in late 2026, featuring a groundbreaking rollable display that expands up to 12.4 inches, advanced camera systems, powerful hardware, and AI-driven privacy features, aiming to redefine the future of smartphones and industry standards.
Chinese phone makers Vivo and Transion are reportedly set to beat Samsung in releasing a slider phone with a rollable display. While Samsung has been showcasing rollable display concepts, Vivo and Transion are said to be working on prototypes that feature a slidable panel with a rollable display made by CSOT. The advantage of this design is that it can be more compact and avoids the thickness and heft associated with foldable phones. Vivo's slider phone may resemble the Oppo X 2021 prototype, featuring a retractable OLED display and a proprietary Roll Motor powertrain to ensure a seamless screen experience.
