• Vivo could be working on a phone with an extendable display similar to that on OPPO X 2021 rollable phone.

Vivo could be working on a phone with an extendable display, according to a patent application it filed at the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The patent was filed back in May 2021 and was published on December 2nd, as spotted by 91mobiles. The patent drawings show the phone will have an extendable display that expands from the right to enlarge the display to fit in more content thanks to the additional screen real estate. Extendable phones are not new in the market as OPPO has already demoed its version of extendable phones but a commercial device is yet to hit the market.
