But it seems Lenovo would beat them to this.

Taking advantage of the excitement generated by this idea, Lenovo unveiled at an annual press conference on June 9th, the concept of a phone which can be rolled around the wrist like a watch.

The product was presented without any technical details and leaves consumers to therefore be content with what we could see in the video and on-site demonstration. It is however easy to deduce that the device is not the shape of the wristwatch with hinges but is completely flexible.

The device however appears thick in size and poses very little aesthetic appeal. Above all, it may be a bit heavy to wear the wrist. From the presentation, it obviously runs on Android and should be available in 12 different colors.

Another concept unveiled was the Lenovo Folio tablet, which folds down the middle like a book. Again, no specification was available.
