While it is uncertain if the device will ever become a product, Lenovo is actively testing and demonstrating it to evaluate public interest. The rollable design offers more flexibility than foldable phones, but there are practical challenges and questions about its durability and usability.

Smartphone designs have become stagnant, largely due to the reliance on third-party apps. While attempts at reinvention, like foldables, have struggled to gain traction, the compatibility of apps with new form factors remains a challenge.
