Rumors hint at aspect ratios for Samsung's sliding phone

A tipster has shared details suggesting that a rumored Samsung phone with a sliding display could switch between 16:9 and 21:9 aspect ratios. This vertically expanding concept aligns with a recently approved patent from the company showing a device with housings that move relative to one another. While rollable and slidable concept devices have been discussed for years, questions remain regarding battery consumption and the mechanical operation of the expanding display. Samsung previously showed a non-mechanized sliding concept, though a commercial release has not been officially confirmed.
