Motorola unveiled its adaptive display concept back in October of 2023 at Lenovo’s Tech World. But we didn’t get a chance to play around with it until now.
So what is the Motorola adaptive display concept? Simply put, it’s a folding device that attaches to your wrist via a strap accessory.
Impressively, when unfolded, the concept looks and feels just like a regular smartphone – one with a 6.9-inch display diagonal.
The standalone strap uses magnets to attach the concept to your wrist.
Here’s the fun part. Bending the concept device. It’s surprisingly sturdy and it’s weirdly pleasurable to fold it outward. It has a stop point and it seems that it won’t simply fold too much. We didn’t try forcing it, though.
Bendy, bendy
Then comes the fun part. Strapping the adaptive display concept to your wrist. The magnets take hold quickly, but left us with an uneasy feeling that it wouldn’t take that big of a bump to unsettle the device from our wrists.
The UI is clever enough to recognize when the foldable is in wrist mode and places a big clock widget on the upper part. It’s a full-on side-swipeable interface but it’s very limited. You don’t get apps but widgets and most aren’t optimized for the half-screen.
The Motorola Adaptive Display Concept
Motorola’s adaptive display concept is just that – a concept. You won’t be able to buy it anytime soon. This is more of an exercise of what Motorola is capable of in the foldable space.
