A flexible phone that goes on your wrist (kind of): Motorola shows proof of concept at MWC،

One of the first phones capable of bending and folding was called the Royole FlexPai, presented by the rather unknown company Royale at the 2019 edition of CES. It was a product that got tech enthusiasts excited, with flaws so immediately obvious that that enthusiasm died down within minutes.

That being said, the Royale FlexPai gave us a glimpse of what foldable phones could offer in the future, like today's Galaxy Z Folds and OnePlus Opens. Well, now we have a story similar to that of the FlexPai, with a concept phone from Motorola, which the company presented at the MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona.

The popular manufacturer that gave us some of the most iconic models foldable phoneslike its latest 2023 Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr Plus, is working to develop a device that could one day function as both a phone and a smartwatch.

Motorola calls this device Motorola Adaptive Display, although that's more of a name for the foldable screen functionality than anything else. Check out these photos we took of Motorola's latest concept phone!

As you can probably see for yourself, the back panel is made of a soft mesh to make “wearing” the phone more comfortable for the user. Check out this short presentation with a Motorola representative showing how the phone folds.

The presenter wears a small bracelet around his wrist, which likely has magnets in the flat pieces at the top and bottom, helping the phone stay in place when worn.

But Motorola has done much more than just bend this phone to fit your wrist, the Motorola Adaptive Display is already putting its special powers to use by offering the same level of functionality you get with the cover screen of 'a Motorola Razr Plus, allowing you to control multiple features and applications while it is folded around your hand.

The level to which this concept phone can bend is rather limited and it's a little difficult to twist and use at the moment, but keep in mind that we're talking about a concept here.
