The company revealed its concept of an adaptive display in Lenovo Tech World 23 with an adjustable form factor and a few AI tricks for parties.
Have you ever looked at your phone’s dull, clunky design thinking, “Why can’t I just place this thing on my wrist?” No? This makes us two. It could be what we do with our phones in the near future. At least in the future that Motorola imagines.
Today, at Lenovo Tech World ’23, Motorola announced on stage its brand-new Adaptive Display concept, a shape-shifting Android phone that can be bent at varying degrees. For instance, this 6.9-inch slab could be bent to a shape like a C and worn as an electronic watch.
Motorola suggests pairing this mode with its revolutionary AI features that make an appropriate phone wallpaper that matches your style. We’ve seen similar features on Samsung phones as well as Galaxy smartwatches.
This Adaptive Display concept can also be bent so that the top portion slopes upwards to provide an ergonomic experience. The self-standing display has a 4.6-inch display that is ideal for watching videos, scrolling your social feeds, or other vertically aligned tasks. The applications are customizable.

Motorola Bending Phone – Prototype
As this is a prototype phone, pricing and availability are possible. At the moment I’m interested to know how it’s built, how practical it would be to put something as weighty as a phone on your wrist, and how uncomfortable it can become after a long time at work. Can you design a case for it?
There are a lot of other questions; naturally, however, these uncertainties lead me to think that Motorola’s smartwatch replacement phone is unlikely to get a chance to see the light of day. However, it’s an impressive attempt to bring something different to a market for smartphones that’s slow but steadily moving towards foldable devices.
Motorola unveiling their Adaptive Display concept at Lenovo Tech World ’23 marks an innovative move into shape-shifting smartphones, creating endless opportunities. A phone that can bend at various angles opens up endless opportunities, from wearing it as a wristwatch to enjoying ergonomic self-standing displays; additionally, AI features for personalised wallpapers add another level of innovation.
