TCL’s slide-out screen phone images surface in wake of MWC cancellation

San Francisco, Feb 18 (IANS) At a time when smartphone makers are thinking of bringing foldable devices, Guangdong-headquartered TCL Corporation is also making a phone with a slide out screen.

The device will feature an extendable screen that you can turn into a tablet.

“…TCL is working on a phone that has a slide-out display instead of one you can bend in half like the Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr. The point? To give you as much screen space as a tablet without having to carry one around,” CNET reported on Monday.

Based on images that CNET obtained, this concept phone looks like a standard phone, which then turns it into a tablet after you’ve pulled out the screen.
