foldable smartphones and tablets it looks like they're coming at some point we're here at Lenovo tech world in San Francisco and a lot of cool stuff were announced here like the tango ready fab 2 Pro and the modular Moto Z and z-force but the ones we really thought were cool are concepts yes concepts as in they're not something we'll be buying anytime soon either way it really opens up the idea of what will potentially see down the road now during this Q&A session with some of the engineers we got a sneak peek at two foldable devices the first one being a foldable smartphone the one that showing off during the keynote by Meghan McCarthy when it's one it looks very much like an elongated phone from the front but you know something's up when you look at it from the back obviously there's more to it than just the display being folded since the chassis itself bends the novus concept seems practical because as it's being bended the interface slowly begins to shift so that its operation while on your wrist is a little bit more appropriate what's really interesting is that lenovo says that folding a display in isn't a problem but it is when you're bending it out which is the case here with the smartphone that's because of how the glass or whatever is covering the panel itself is being stretched but from what we can see here it's using the stretchy plastic looking cover you can visibly see the layer just because it kind of distorts a bit as for the foldable tablet it's pretty neat because it can go from a sizable tablet to a phablet sized thing by betting it right in the middle so you can use it like a phone whereas the phone bends in multiple places throughout the chassis the tablet simply has its bending points around the middle area and the same plastic eclair covers the display too these are some pretty cool concepts especially when they've been optimized to make them practical when they're bent like how that UI shifts and all being concepts you know that we're thinking a lot about price even though we won't be seeing them any time soon we could only imagine them to be pricey but hey it's pretty cool that they fold they're coming at some point and those are the concepts they seem promising but we're going to wait longer to actually see them in consumer ready form the meantime if you guys want to check out all the other cool things we saw at Lenovo tech world stop by our website and rathore e-comm your source for all things Android
