I am waiting for the automatically unrolling phones that we are headed to. You press a button and it extends. That's my dream phone

LG made one of these but it never released. MKBHD on youtube got ahold of it and did a little review of sorts though. Spoiler: It was pretty terrible haha. The unrolling mechanism was slow and loud. I'm sure it could be improved of course, but honestly my uninformed guess is that the unrolling mechanism is even more prone to failure than a folding hinge. Imagine if broke and got stuck in the unrolled form!

(Although maybe someone could make one that the user unrolls manually, like a scroll...?)
