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.
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. 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.
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.
