Lenovo Showed Off Smartphone Range With Bendable Display
Soon after Samsung has show cased its bendable screen mobile phones, Lenovo has given a glimpse of a range of flexible products it's working on.
Lenovo has showed off some of its experimental technology, including a foldable smartphone and tablet at its Tech World conference in San Francisco, along with it Lenovo also launched its latest smartphones.
Devices Lenovo is working on have flexible display. Smartphone can turn into a wearable device by wrapping it around the wrist. The bendable tablet, meanwhile, can fold in half, making it easier to carry and use.
Officially known as the CPlus, Lenovo's CTO, Peter Hortensius, said the bendy handset would come in two sizes, large and small. It would also have a 4.26-inch flexible display, use the Android operating system and come in 12 different colours.
It is still in the development stage and no time frame has been given for its launch.
However, Samsung is has already planed to launch its product with bendable screen by 2017. Samsung unveiled a prototype of a phone that could bend as far back as 2013.
While the Suwon, South Korea-based company has previously released slick videos featuring foldable concept phones, it has never made such a device commercially. Moxi Group, a Chinese company based in Chongqing, has shown off a bendable phone with black and white screens.
