Yes, we've seen foldable phones. We've even seen rollable phone prototypes — although LG's rollable phone, sadly, probably won't see the light of day.
But TCL now has a smartphone concept that's both a foldable and rollable phone in one, and it's pretty cool.

I've been critical of foldable phones precisely because they don't offer that much space when folded out, but this TCL phone solves that in a fairly elegant way.
In terms of specs, the TCL Fold 'n' Roll is a 6.87-inch phone that folds into an 8.85-inch phablet (remember that word? TCL's still using it). And then, it rolls out into a 10-inch tablet, which should be plenty even for those who like their tablets bigger.

Still, TCL has been at this for a while. The company was one of the first to show a working foldable smartphone prototype, and it made several other prototypes over the years. Perhaps Fold 'n' Roll is the one that actually turns into a real product.
