Flex Zone
For years, smartphones have been big slabs of glass—but the future is flexible. Chinese maker Royole is one fo the first companies with a fully bendable AMOLED smartphone, called the FlexPai. It starts as an 8-inch tablet of sorts, and works pretty well, but if you fold it back like a piece of paper, you can use it as a phone.
Foldable displays aren't coming, they're here. This is the FlexPai foldable phone and tablet. Fold it up and it's a phone, unfold it and you have a tablet. Creative displays have been a big theme here at #CES2019, so stay tuned for more on tech like this https://wired.trib.al/kKcC0jU
The screens on the front and back work like any Android phone (mostly), and Royole has chosen to put some notifications and other features on the bendy part. The models I tried were already a bit beat up from the hoard of greasy CES hands that have been folding them all day, and the interface had some had some trouble quickly transitioning between screens, depending how you hold it, but the idea here is fun. Royole says it will try to launch the phone in Europe and the United States this year, though it's easier said than done for a manufacturer new to the country. Either way, flexible AMOLED displays are finally getting more real, and that's exciting.—Jeffrey Van Camp
