TCL showcased two of the most thrilling flexible screen devices at CES 2026.
TCL's display technology was showcased in a concept rollable gaming laptop, where the 16-inch screen can expand to an impressive 24-inch display.
The CES 2026 exhibition is filled with a variety of devices, ranging from those that are somewhat impractical to those that are truly groundbreaking. As usual, devices featuring next-generation display technology attracted considerable attention, with TCL powering two of the most promising devices that may soon become available.
Is there a foldable for everyone?
At the event, Motorola unveiled its first book-style foldable smartphone, which has the potential to change the market once again. It features a flexible 8.1-inch 2K LTPO display sourced from TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology (TCL CSOT) and is notable for its sleek design and recognizable aesthetics.
Lenovo
The latest product from Lenovo's brand, named the Razr Fold, includes a 6.6-inch external display, three 50-megapixel cameras on the back, and high-end Qualcomm processing power. However, what may truly distinguish this device is its expected pricing.
Motorola has yet to disclose the price of its upcoming foldable smartphone, but judging by the previous clamshell-style Razr models, this one is likely to be more affordable than the foldable phones from competitors like Google and Samsung.
An exceptionally practical gaming laptop
In gaming, larger screens are generally preferred. However, options in the gaming laptop market are limited beyond the 17-inch size. Creating anything larger could undermine the essence of a portable gaming device.
Lenovo and TCL have different ideas in mind. Introducing the Legion Pro Rollable Concept, a gaming laptop featuring a rollable Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming display. In its standard mode, the device offers a 16-inch display for both work and play.
Thanks to dual motors integrated into the design, the display expands from both sides, first to a 21.5-inch size and then further to a wide-format 24-inch screen designed for an immersive gaming experience. It is also equipped with Intel's top-of-the-line processors and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card.

ASUS claims that its lightest 16-inch Zenbook combines a high-end Qualcomm chip with an 80 TOPS NPU, designed for individuals who multitask, create, or seek a faster Windows laptop while on battery power.
ASUS is venturing into the large-screen ultralight category with the Zenbook A16 Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, a 16-inch Copilot+ PC that weighs just 1.2 kg. The appeal is straightforward: it offers a spacious display without the typical burden associated with a standard 16-inch laptop.
The standout feature is Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme equipped with an 18-core CPU, alongside an 80 TOPS NPU for on-device AI acceleration. For those looking for Windows laptops that perform swiftly on battery while effectively incorporating AI capabilities, this configuration aims to address that need.
Lenovo’s new Yoga laptops provide an intelligent solution for abandoning your pen tablet.
These laptops feature a unique trackpad that can also serve as a drawing surface.
Lenovo may have addressed one of the major portability challenges for creatives dependent on drawing tablets. At CES, the company introduced a new line of Yoga laptops, including two models equipped with a trackpad that functions as a drawing surface.
Rather than a standard trackpad, the new Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition and Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition feature what Lenovo refers to as a Force Pad. This glass surface is designed to operate as both a conventional trackpad and a compact pen tablet when used with the included Yoga Pen Gen 2.
