The first truly flexible smartphone will be released this year. That’s a confirmation from Moxi Group. This smartphone can bend around your wrist like an accessory. It also can be stretched flatly like the other phones.

Flexible smartphone: a smartphone bracelet

In the last few years, we’ve seen so many products which are “flexible” from Samsung and LG. Samsung has the dual-curved screen smartphones with S6,S7 (Edge). LG has the G Flex phone which is curved to the shape of a banana. However, these phones are not really the flexible phones. And now, we’re about to have a chance to see the real deal from the Moxi Group. The company is gonna sell  100.000 units in this year.

Moxi Group -a Chinese start-up- has been developing a flexible smartphone that can roll over itself. You can fasten it around your wrist and wear it like a watch or a bracelet. The screen of this smartphone was made of a graphene which is super thin, light, strong and flexible. They can create a flexible screen, but not with battery and processor. These non-flexible parts will be kept rigid by a module at the one end of the phone.

For the first flexible smartphone, the company will use an e-ink technology. That means the flexible smartphone will sport a black and white display. This feature makes the device look like a Kindle rather than a smartphone. About the flexible smartphone specs, there might be a 4GB or RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage. It’s gonna have a Snapdragon processor and a 3500mAh battery life.

Flexible smartphone price: not  for the back-white display

With this flexible smartphone, Moxie is bringing the new fresh air to the smartphone market. The small unknown startup shows up with the big smartphone technology. This could be a huge challenge to some big brands like Samsung, LG or Apple. The flexible smartphone release date will be later this year, say, November 2016. And this black and white -display phone is gonna be sold only in China. The flexible smartphone price will be about $760. The color display phone will be available in 2018.
