When laid flat, its 6.9-inch screen can be used just like a standard phone with a full Android experience. From there, it can be adjusted to various stand modes. In the upright position, for instance, it offers a “more compact form of full Android” since it’s running on a 4.6-inch display. Motorola envisions people using the device for video calls in the upright position. Alternatively, Motorola says you can wrap the device around your wrist to mimic the experience of the Razr Plus’s cover screen.
Motorola isn’t the first to unveil a bendable or flexible concept phone. In fact, CNET Senior Editors, Andrew Lanxon and David Lumb each got hands-on time with Motorola’s Rizr rollable-screen concept phone as well as Samsung’s foldable display concepts from CES 2023 and CES 2022. The concept of a flexible screen you can wear on your wrist from Lenovo dates as far back as 2016. And the idea of bendable displays has been around since the 1960s, when the first flexible solar cell arrays appeared.
