We have all been rather preoccupied with Microsoft’s Project Andromeda “Surface Phone” concept, which turns a smartphone into a mini-tablet, but once flexible screens are more mature they may find a more suitable application in simply making our existing giant smartphones smaller.
Techconfigurations have posted a concept of Motorola RAZR V4 Introduction, a new take on the old classic design with much of the surface covered in flexible displays which brings the advantage of a large screened smartphone with none of the bulk and retains the nostalgic form factor of one of the best selling phones ever.
They write:
Our Motorola RAZR V4 concept has 3 display design one 6inch primary foldable display, one 2.5inch exterior display to use in folded mode, and a 0.75inch multipurpose display with an integrated fingerprint scanner. This small display can also adapt to the user interface and apps providing shortcuts to most important functions. Like in the messaging application the small display would show the smiley for the easy access.
On this Motorola RAZR V4 concept, we have used a 6inch foldable display design which can be easily folded to a very compact form factor which would make it convenient for the user to carry it around. So the Motorola RAZR V4 concept has 6inch QHD AMOLED display with In-display fingerprint scanner apart from it there is one 2.5inch exterior display to use in folded mode and a 0.75inch multipurpose display. it would be powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset, 6 GB of RAM with 128/256GB of ROM.
I suspect Techconfiguration’s concept’s specs are a bit overoptimistic, but I think the message that not all exciting folding form factors are too-tiny tablets is still welcome indeed.
