I love it in folded mode. I love how the camera shows the person who’s picture is being taken what they look like so they can pose and whatnot. I love the around-the-edge screen.
But when it’s unfolded in tablet mode, it looks ugly. That distortion on the fold, it would drive me nuts.
I read this as “A table that folds to the size of a phone” and I skipped through the video to look for the amazing invention. Just came to the comments and was utterly disappointed in myself.
THIS IS A CONCEPT for fuck sake. All the damn armchair experts in the comments is just cringe. All of a sudden every one with a phone is an expert in technology, so expert that they can’t tell the difference between a concept and a release product and feel the need to tell everyone what they think of it. Nobody cares.
Enjoy it for what it is, a sneak peak into future technology.
I read that as, “a table that folds into the size of a pbone,” and would have been much more impressed. This was, however, impressive. Flexible screens are only a beginning.
I saw this concept first at Samsung event. And that was in 2013, which was way more enchanced in tech and build, like it could roll the screen completely. It had the bending feature but worked without touch ability (i think).
Although i dont understand why they haven’t brought any products with that breakthrough tech?
Super cool and all. Love the concept. Quick question: can we focus on having a battery that will last longer than a fucking day without having to haul a power pack with us everywhere we go? I would love a phone that I could fold up and wear as a watch, but unless we can wirelessly charge to the point of walking in your house and your phone autocharges in your pocket or we can manufacture a battery that lasts forever, I don’t care about this tech as much.
so whats the catch ?
Neat.
Cool but I don’t think that screen is going to last very long.
You can see when he folds it and then unfolds it again that it distorts where the seam is.
This will be cool once they have a few years to work out the kinks and reliability.

>A tablet that folds to the size of a MASSIVE phone
I don’t like the fold bulge on the middle of the tablet
I broke it just by watching the video
That crease that stayed, though…
Yeah, I would break that.
I can’t think of a real use for this thing that isn’t a gimmick.
You consider a “phone” something that is far bigger than what i consider a “phone”

Nice try Lenovo. How much phishing bloatware is on that thing?
Did they steal The XX’s “VCR” for their intro?
lets hope Samsung steal this concept and make it better. (technology in 2017)
For the love of jesus why is there not a shutter release button on top of the folded mode?
I read “table”. It would’ve been way more impressive.

Misread that as TABLE that folds to the size of a phone, and I’m a little diassapointed
is this real…? https://youtu.be/juNlsqu_hd4?t=37
on the tablet screen, it shows him still in the the camera view, facing the camera, but he’s way off to the side…
I read tablet as table and was super confused
That is one dirty ass tablet.
I’ve been waiting for this for ages.
To a tablet sized phone. Stll cool, even if it’s just a concept and not an actual product.
I love the black market decal on it
Thought it said table that folds to the size of a phone, and was disappointed that it was a tablet
I liked the idea of a table that could fold down and still be sturdy
I read this title as “Table”. And was picturing how flimsy and easy it must be to accidentaly break it. Was a bit confused when the video started.
One step closer to West world
I’ll offer 6 keys and adds for that Hexed.
That’s crazy!!
Microsoft filed a [patent for a folding phone back in 2014](https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160109908A1/en). The patent also includes a tri-fold version.
I thought it was silly to grant a patent for a technology that wasn’t even feasible yet, but maybe they really did have the tech back in 2014.
1st gen Westworld phone.
Soon our minds will be uploaded to the cloud
Warranty void once its folded
I don’t want a phone or tablet with moveable parts
That intro was totally the first notes of
[The XX – VCR](https://youtu.be/SZUNWltbkLs)
I read it as a “table” that folds to the size of a phone. A little disappointed but still cool! lol
Seems pretty useless to me at its current state.
I want an iphone that folds in half like a flip phone
Folded phone + two player games and two Bluetooth controllers = love
It goes from a tablet to a smaller tablet.

But will it blend?
Great, another concept that we’ll never see applied in or daily lives.
in before more dead pixels on the part that blends than on the nintendo switch OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
A big ass phone
damn, it bends and folds. take that apple
Graphene
The size of an 80s phone.
Ok but can you make batteries that last longer than a day first
Creating new innovative ways to break your screen.
“Size of a phone”
I read that as, “a table that folds into the size of a pbone,” and would have been much more impressed. This was, however, impressive. Flexible screens are only a beginning.
I was sitting here like, “where’s this table that folds into the size of a phone…?”
that’s the iphone 10
I wish my phone unfolded to the size of a tablet
I would fold it closed more often than I would fold it open.

We have different ideas of a size of a phone.

THat intro song sounded like the XX
Near the end he said there’s nothing in America like this
How long till Apple undercuts them to market and then claim to be revolutionary.
I was really hoping he’d fold it like 6 more times proving you CAN fold it 7 times!
I’d crack that screen the first day i get it
The folding of screen will blow over faster than fart.
Too busy tryna sell gimmicks than achieve any progress battery life….
I’d prefer it to fold in reverse so I don’t need a screen protector.
I’m sorta happy we’re finally doing this (as in right now I’m seeing a video, not the 10+ years of companies not showing their progress)
Awesome but the westworld fan in me already can’t wait for the trifold version
lol,might as well carry another tablet sized battery pack for that thing….
Can’t wait to play with it at Best Buy.
Ormrgrd
That’s a pretty big ass phone
Calling it now. Nintendo will one day use this tech for some kind of weird game device they’ve come up with.
