With its flexible display, this device can function as both a smartphone and a smartwatch.
According to Saed News, Lenovo showcased the Motorola Adaptive Display concept smartphone at MWC 2024, demonstrating its innovative approach to flexible display technology. Originally introduced in October 2023, this concept device has now been publicly displayed with its unique features and capabilities.
The device features an FHD+ pOLED display that can bend and take different shapes based on the user’s needs. Over the past few years, we’ve seen remarkable advancements in foldable and rollable display technologies, and this concept represents another step forward in that field.
One of the standout features of this concept device is its adaptability to different usage scenarios. Simply put, in addition to being a foldable smartphone, it can be wrapped around the wrist and used as a smartwatch-like device.
Moreover, the device can be placed in various upright positions, enhancing its flexibility during use. When the 6.9-inch display is laid flat, it offers a full Android experience, while in a vertical, folded position, it transforms into a more compact 4.6-inch display.
The technology is designed to automatically adjust settings based on its shape and orientation. For example, when used as a smartwatch, the interface switches automatically to a smartwatch-friendly layout, optimizing the user experience for wrist-worn functionality. This means that the Motorola Adaptive Display could have multiple potential applications.
The concept device is powered by a series of small batteries integrated into the frame, connected to its hinge mechanism. While the total battery capacity remains undisclosed, this modular design allows the device to maintain flexibility while providing power.
Finally, Lenovo has stated that this technology is still in its early stages and is not yet ready for mass production. If Lenovo decides to bring such a product to market, it could take several years before it becomes commercially available.
