In an attempt to sell the first flexible smartphone in the world, the Chinese company Moxi Group has designed what will be the first bendable smartphone available for all consumers.
The company will sell 100,000 units of the bendable smartphones in 2016 and the phones will be able to roll up onto the user's wrist like a bracelet. The smartphone will also be able to unfurl to reveal a more standard smartphone display. While the upcoming device screens will only be featured in black and white, the company hopes to have a colored version released by 2018.
This device may not be completely necessary for daily functioning, but it is an interesting progression in flexible screen technology which is now becoming viable for consumers to purchase.
