Motorola launches adaptive display concept last october, marking a significant advancement in use cases for flexible display technology. Today at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2024), I had the opportunity to experience this concept firsthand.
The device features a 6.9-inch screen that bends around the wrist, revolutionizing traditional smartphone design. The Adaptive Display uses a plastic pOLED display with FHD+ resolution and retains the regular look of a standard smartphone, but with a slightly taller profile.
A distinctive feature of Motorola’s bendable phone is its back panel, which is made up of multiple sections covered with textile material. This material choice gives the device flexibility, a key aspect not possible with metal or plastic. Users can wear the device on their wrist, turning it into a bulky smartwatch or a small wearable display.
When laid flat, the device operates like a traditional Android smartphone, offering a full-screen interface and can be adjusted to include a freestanding position or a compact form with a 4.6-inch display.
The adaptive display concept represents a fusion of display and mechanical innovations derived from Lenovo’s foldable and rollable devices, the company said. This technology allows users to adjust the shape of the display to their specific needs, providing a diverse user experience.
