You know that fun rollable Motorola Rizr phone? It's a cool concept for a trade show, but I doubt it'll ever be anything more than that. Here's why.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don’t think the Motorola Rizr rollable phone that has gained so much attention over the past few days is ever going to be anything more than a concept.
It’s visually impressive because the screen rolls around the bottom of the phone, and then a motor extends it up over the front, converting the 5-inch device into a 6.5-inch device. It does this in a slow, considered, video-friendly fashion. It makes me say “Ohhh!” when it performs its party trick, but as it continues its painfully long and drawn-out unroll, I begin to ask, “who would actually wait this long?” The answer is no one.
A slow journey “But wait, you curmudgeon,” I hear you shout, “it’s just a concept! Of course it doesn’t work like a final product.” I agree, except this isn’t the first time we’ve seen or heard about a rollable phone, and any actually demoed over the years make a sloth look energetic. Speed is everything. We get frustrated when things take a second longer than we want. Modern phones are sold on speed, whether it’s octa-core processors, 240W fast charging, or 5G connectivity. They’re advertised in a way that emphasizes power and performance, not considered actions and ponderous motions. The foldable phone succeeds and avoids this argument about speed because you’re in control of the unfolding action. It’s as fast as your hands can move and never feels restrictive.
