Motorola Unveils Flexible Display Smartphone that Wraps Around Your Wrist

While foldable screens are becoming more common, Motorola is developing a more advanced concept phone display that wraps around your wrist. On Tuesday (24 October), the Lenovo subsidiary unveiled its flexible pOLED display concept phone at the annual Lenovo Tech World 2023. The new smartphone form factor sports a full-HD+ pOLED screen and can be wrapped around the wrist like a wristband or timepiece. The adaptive display concept can be used in a variety of stand settings.

Lenovo Tech World 2023

At Lenovo Tech World 2023, Motorola presented its revolutionary adaptive display concept. As previously stated, this new conceptual device features a full-HD+ pOLED display that can be twisted and curved to meet the needs of users. This adaptive display design may be altered from a flat Android phone experience to being wrapped for a wrist-worn experience or positioned in various stand configurations. The device may stand on its own as a bipod, providing the user with a hands-free experience.

Regular smartphone with full Android functionality: Flexible Display Smartphone that Wraps Around Your Wrist

When laid flat, the 6.9-inch screen functions as a regular smartphone with full Android functionality. It can also be configured to stand on its own and has a 4.6-inch display. Motorola also mentions that users can wrap the gadget around their wrist like a smart band or timepiece to simulate the external display on the Motorola Razr Plus's cover screen. However, there needs to be more information on when this new item will be available for purchase.

Motorola teased the rollable Rizr concept earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2023). Aside from Motorola, brands such as Vivo, Transsion Holdings, and TCL are preparing to launch another rollable display form factor in 2024. Samsung is now the market leader in the foldable smartphone field.

Motorola revealed several creative AI technologies

Motorola also revealed several creative AI technologies that allow consumers to personalise their phones. With this concept, users can upload or shoot a photo of their attire to generate various AI-generated graphics that suit their style. Furthermore, the company announced the creation of MotoAI, a personal assistant for both PCs and smartphones. In addition, Motorola has presented an AI concept model that improves the Doc Scanner capabilities now available on Motorola camera systems, an AI Text Summarisation tool, and a Privacy Content Obfuscation idea that uses AI to protect user information.
