As far as prototypes go, this concept appears to be on the "operational" side of the spectrum -- there are battery and cellular indicator icons on the screen.


The rolling display is a flexible OLED panel, measuring 6.5 inches when extended and retracting down to "just over" 4 inches, the report mentioned.


The company did not provide any further details on whether it will ever reach the market or not.


In a later segment of the video, Lenovo showed off another concept device -- a laptop with a rolling display, the report said.


The video shows that the laptop's screen extends upwards, providing a ton of additional, vertical screen real estate.


Meanwhile, this week, the company has launched an affordable smartphone -- moto e22s -- in India that comes for Rs 8,999.
