Samsung patent shows rollable phone with movable camera module

Samsung filed a patent for a rollable smartphone design with a rear camera module that moves as the display expands, according to a report published by GSMArena on May 22, 2026.

The patent, as described by GSMArena and attributed to WearView, outlines a phone with a rollable display rather than a foldable panel. The reported design uses a screen that remains tucked into the main body in its compact state and extends outward when more display area is needed.

Patent sketches cited in the report show a rear cutout that appears to accommodate a movable camera module. GSMArena said the camera module shifts along with the expanding display, indicating that the camera assembly changes position as the device transitions between compact and expanded forms.

In the compact configuration, the device reportedly resembles a conventional smartphone. The report does not provide launch timing, product name, technical specifications, or confirmation that Samsung plans to commercialize the design. Patent filings describe proposed concepts and do not confirm a commercial product.
