For example, we remember the smartphone that is so flexible that it can even wrap around the wrist. In the same vein, the manufacturer was recently granted a patent called Reconfigurable pivoting portable screen, in other words a smartphone that becomes a smartwatch, and vice versa.
A magnetic system to split the device in two
To better understand this sorcery, you have to take a look at the illustration below. The smartphone splits into two parts lengthwise (held together by a magnetic system), then a pivot makes it possible to bring the two parts together into a long band, which can then wrap around the wrist, the screen being flexible.
Innovation beyond simple updates
It is not certain that such a bold idea will ever come to fruition, but we appreciate that the major industrial players are thinking a little further ahead than the basic annual update that will please investors.
