Motorola is working on further technologies to enlarge small displays. The manufacturer has now demonstrated a concept device whose display stretches out.
As part of parent company Lenovo's "Tech World 2022", Motorola has shown a smartphone concept whose display stretches out. The flexible OLED rolls out at the touch of a button.
From 4 to 6.5 inches
Luca Rossi, who heads Lenovo's Intelligent Devices division, walks through the history of foldable displays at Lenovo in the video and reveals that they are currently working on flexible OLEDs. Without further ado, he takes the smartphone prototype out of the inside pocket of his jacket and enlarges it at the touch of a button. The handy, approximately four-inch display stretches until it reaches 6.5 inches. The content on the screen adjusts automatically.
How is this possible? The display goes around the edge at the bottom. This is where the extra surface area comes from. Unfortunately, the back of the smartphone is not completely visible. Probably deliberately, because the device with the roll-out display is only a prototype. When such a smartphone could go into series production, Lenovo or Motorola says nothing.

Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
