A small Chinese startup says it's
about to unveil a smartphone that
can bend all the way around your
wrist.
The device, produced by Moxi Group, will feature
a flexible touchscreen that still works when
looped and worn like a watch or a bracelet,
according to the company. It also functions
stretched flat, like any other smartphone.
The bendy screen uses graphene , the thinnest
material in the world that's also strong, light,
transparent and flexible. Moxi says it has already
produced a prototype of the phone and plans to
put 100,000 units on sale in China by the end of
this year.
It's an impressive feat of innovation if it pulls it
off -- no other company is known to have
brought a fully bendable smartphone to market.
But there's a catch: the phones it intends to
release initially will only have black-and-white
displays. The company says it's aiming for a full
color version, which is more technically
challenging to make, by 2018.
