Motorola has recently been granted a patent for a rollable screen phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
According to the latest sources, Motorola has the latest patent for its rollable screen phone.
Teased for years, Motorola's rollable phone concept was first showcased at MWC 2023.
Now, the company is taking the idea even further with a new device that features multiple fingerprint sensors on a rollable display.

According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Motorola's patent is titled "Consistent on-screen fingerprint (FOD) location management on a rollable device with multiple FOD sensors" and is numbered "12135587B1".
Overall, the product has a design very similar to Motorola's Rizr smartphone.
What sets this new concept apart is its advanced fingerprint authentication system.
Unlike traditional smartphones that limit the fingerprint sensor to a specific area, the design of this product integrates multiple sensors across the entire screen.
This will allow users to unlock the device from any part of the screen, providing a more intuitive and flexible experience.

The design of the device is quite similar to the approach of the Motorola Rizr from MWC 2023.
The phone's innovative display can expand from 5 inches to 6.5 inches with a simple double tap, transforming it from a compact, pocketable phone into a larger phone.
When not expanded, the display wraps around the back, acting as a secondary display for notifications and quick updates.
However, experts are not sure this technology will soon be put into consumer products.
Motorola's rollable phone concept offers a fresh take on the foldable smartphone trend, and it's a real (potential) alternative to Samsung and Google's Galaxy Z Flip or Pixel Fold devices.
While promising, the prototype phone is still in its early stages and comes with a plastic display similar to the Motorola Razr, which is prone to damage.
Demo models have shown dents, forcing users to use a protective case. Despite concerns about handling and the rolling mechanism, the design has been quite usable and user-friendly during testing.
