Do you remember Nokia’s Morph? Let me give you a quick update. Back in 2008, Nokia introduced the Nokia Morph, which was a concept device. It aimed to demonstrate how nanotechnology could be used in devices. The Nokia Morph was a creation of the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanotechnology Center.
As we all know, Nokia’s fate took a different turn, and its long-forgotten idea is now being revived by Motorola. While it may not be the perfect time to bring Nokia’s vision to life, current technology is well-suited for flexible phones. Motorola has recently revealed its Motorola Flexible smartphone. You can watch the announcement video here.
This new concept device boasts a 6.9-inch FHD+ pOLED display that can be bent and molded into different shapes, much like Nokia’s Morph. The concept behind it is to allow users to customize the shape of their phone according to their needs and preferences.
Furthermore, Motorola’s AI tool can match your phone’s appearance with your outfit. This is a feature that’s already available on our smartphones and smartwatches, but it’s a convenient addition for creating personalized wallpapers to match your style.
Would you consider using this? I’m curious if such a smartphone could be durable enough to function like a bracelet with full smartphone capabilities, at least during the summer. In the winter, it might be challenging to wear long sleeves or a jacket with such a device. At the very least, it might not be very comfortable.
