Motorola Unveils Bendable Smartphone Prototype that Wraps Around Wrist

Motorola showcases its adaptive display concept at Lenovo Tech World 2023: a phone with a 6.9-inch plastic OLED screen that can bend to wrap around the wrist, stand on a table, or function as a regular smartphone, teasing a new era for foldable technology.

Motorola's prototype phone, demonstrated at Lenovo Tech World 2023, features a 6.9-inch plastic OLED screen that can adjust from a flat layout to wrap around the wrist like a bracelet, stand on a table or operate like a regular smartphone, marking a new direction in foldable technology.
The bendable phone, backed by a fabric material for comfort, offers high adaptability and convenience by enabling users to interact seamlessly with its external display while moving.
The device is powered by a generative AI model allowing for extensive customization, such as matching the phone's background to a user's outfit.
The company is yet to reveal plans for public release, indicating that the wearable phone remains in its prototype stage.
The system is powered by a Full HD+ plastic OLED screen that is lighter, thinner, more durable, and energy-efficient than glass-based displays, albeit more prone to scratches.
Despite its unique design, there are concerns about the practicality of the device, such as its weight on the user's wrist, the heating issues and the requirement of an additional band for improved functionality.
