Samsung developing rollable Galaxy Z Slide for 2028 launch

Samsung is reportedly developing its first rollable smartphone, with a target launch window set for the first half of 2028. According to reports from South Korean media, Samsung Display is in advanced discussions to supply the flexible OLED panels for the device, which is said to carry the internal name "Galaxy Z Slide."

The device is expected to feature a display that can expand to approximately 10 inches when fully extended, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a pixel density around 440 pixels per inch. Market research firm Omdia provided the display specifications cited in the reports. While Samsung has not officially confirmed the product's existence or its name, a company executive reportedly told local media that internal development is underway and that using Samsung Display's panels is a strong possibility.

This move would represent Samsung's next major step in pioneering new smartphone form factors, following its establishment of the modern foldable phone market which began in 2019. The reported 2028 launch would also coincide with the tenth anniversary of Samsung's Galaxy foldable lineup. The company is said to be considering launching the device alongside its Galaxy S28 series.
