"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enimagine looking down at your wrist to see your phone wrapped around it like a bracelet this is one of a handful of clever phone Concepts we've seen so far in 2024 turns out between CES and Mobile World Congress we've seen a bunch of phone Concepts that are well just that wild ideas that play with a phone's form factor and use case now it's not clear whether we'll see any of these ambitious smartphone Concepts ever go on sale well except for one but it's a lot of fun to see what companies like Samsung Motorola and others are experimenting with so let's get into it and let's start with this Motorola bendable phone from Mobile World Congress now CET Andy langson who demoed the tech describes it as his dream wrist phone it's a phone that can work like a regular flat candy bar style device but then can bend around your wrist to be worn like a futuristic Gauntlet I mean who needs a phone and a smartwatch when your phone could become your watch right now Motorola calls this an adaptive display concept and actually teased it last year when flat it looks like a regular Android phone but the back is covered in fabric for your comfort you can use it as any other phone swiping around and emailing and instagramming to your heart's content and when you're ready to store it though you simply bend it into the shape of an arch and you can slap it on your wrist there's a magnetic strap you wear that looks a little bit like a watch strap and the phone magnetically attaches to this to help keep it in place when it's on your wrist and when in wrist mode the software looks a bit like what you'd see on the Motorola Razer Plus's cover screen and when you want it to be a phone again you simply pull it off from your wrist fold it flat again and Away you go but wait there's more its bendable mechanism allows it to become its own kickstand so you could stand it up on a table and make it more convenient for a video call or watching videos now I think this feature is quite compelling and while I don't think we'll ever see a bracelet phone go on sale I could see this technology adopted for another use case or another form factor and full disclosure I did review a Nubia wrist phone years ago and well I came away with more questions than answers but let's move on while Samsung had a similar bendy phone concept with slap watch Vibes at Mobile World Congress called the cling band it's actually Samsung's Flex in and out flip concept from CES that I want to highlight unlike the Galaxy Z flip 5 which folds open and closed like a clamshell phone this concept can fold completely backwards so you can use the phone's 6.7 in screen even when the device is flat and when the flex In-N-Out flip is bent backwards one of the sides of the device is shorter than the other to avoid covering the camera CET Lisa Edo saw the phone at Cs and it ran a looped Di video rather than the actual phone software and like the Motorola bracelet phone the flex in and out flip is only a concept Well for now so there's no indication that this technology will ever show up in a real product just yet but remember the original Galaxy fold debuted in 2019 and this shows how far phones and display technology have evolved ever since but let's move on to a phone that you can actually buy right now pretty much anywhere in the world except for the US it's called the honor magic 6 Pro and it packs most of the high-end specs you'd expect from a 2024 Flagship Android phone but that's not why this is on my list you see you can control the phone with your eyes CNET Katy Collins got to try the AI powered ey tracking feature for herself and had this reaction it felt like my eyes had a whole new set of powers the magic 6 pros eye controls let you open your notifications answer a phone call and dismiss alarms like maybe you're cooking and you're using your phone to follow a recipe and don't want to touch it with your messy hands honor even has a video using an app on the phone to remote control an actual car with nothing but a person's eyes that's pretty cool and as cool as this video is the amount of use cases and accessibility that these Eye controls open up is incredibly promising we already have VR headsets like Apple's Vision Pro that use ey tracking to help you seemingly interact with apps and controls in the real world now currently it tracking is limited to Magic 6 Pros sold in China but the feature is expected to roll out to all International versions in the future and to quote Katie once again I'm already looking forward with anticipation to the day when using my eyes to interact with my personal Tech is as natural to me as using my hands or voice that's all I've got for now and now I want to hear from you what do you think of these Concepts would you want to control your phone with your eyes or wear it around your wrist let me know in the comments and last thank you for watchingimagine looking down at
