Samsung's innovative streak is very much alive and kicking, as evidenced by a litany of its upcoming novel products, which now include the Galaxy Z Roll as well as holographic and blood pressure-measuring displays.
Samsung continues to work on a range of novel products, including the so-called Galaxy Z Roll as well as the futuristic holographic and biomarker-focused displays
David Kowalski (xleaks7) has now pinpointed a new Samsung patent that spans a rollable smartphone, tentatively dubbed the Galaxy Z Roll.
Samsung's new patent envisions a smartphone with a lateral-rolling display, replete with a punch-hole selfie camera and a triple-camera setup at the rear that is housed within the portion that rolls outwards, making for a striking rear profile when unfurled.
Interestingly, Samsung Galaxy Z Roll's vertically mounted camera setup at the rear fits snugly into a dedicated cutout within the frame when it's in its unfurled state.
Do note that Samsung recently showcased its Slidable Flex Duet display that is capable of expanding from 8.1 inches to 12.4 inches, thereby approaching tablet display territory.
Meanwhile, as we detailed recently, Samsung recently showcased its new "Sensor OLED" at the SID exhibition. The technology integrates organic photodiodes (OPD) pixels into the RGB ones within a single display layer, allowing for the use of emitted light to measure health metrics such as heart rate and blood pressure, while unlocking a pixel density of 500 PPI.
Interestingly, Samsung showcased its "Sensor OLED" tech within the form factor of a smartphone-sized 6.8-inch panel, indicating that the technology is likely to debut on a future smartphone.
Finally, according to the tipster Schrödinger, Samsung is also working on a new holographic display, dubbed MH1 or simply H1, for short.
The display presumably integrates a "nano-structured holographic layer" within the display itself, enabling 3D-like depth effects. It also uses eye-tracking and diffractive beam-steering to supposedly enhance the holographic effect.
Samsung has also reportedly developed a patented algorithm that allows users to simply tilt their phone to view around objects in a given video.
Also, the display supposedly maintains full 4K fidelity for standard 2D viewing, activating holographic depth only for qualifying content.
