Lenovo Tech World 2022: This is Motorola’s cell phone prototype that goes taller than a button
Lenovo showed off a prototype smartphone with a screen that stretches; Unlike other designs, the phone is more compact than usual when “loaded”
Motorola was a pioneer along with Samsung The foldable screen smartphone segment With the 2019 Razr, it has been updated twice (in 2020 and 2022; the latter, for now, limited to China and Europe). The phone uses a classic flip design to take advantage of flexible screens that can be folded and closed like a book. Samsung also has one, and one that opens like a book, just like that Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo.
now yes Lenovo Tech World 2022Motorola (owned by Lenovo since 2014) has shown a prototype of a design it is testing, in which the screen extends upwards. It seems like a stretch, like that A panel that Samsung and Intel recently showed off. During the presentation, Luca Rossi, president of Lenovo’s intelligent devices group, showed a prototype: a button raises the phone (it becomes taller). Obviously, it becomes wider if placed in the landscape.
This is Motorola’s cell phone prototype that goes higher
The device takes an idea that LG already demonstrated with the Rollable model (which planned to sell a smartphone with this design in 2021, before exiting the global smartphone market), and which uses A flexible screen with one edge that curves behind the computer and is inserted in the back part, that is, it is located in a U shape, and part is hidden inside the device; by pressing the button Lenovo’s prototype case extends and opens part of the screen.

The future of the Razr?
However, what is unique about this case is that, unlike the LG model (and the Oppo X 2021, a prototype that the Chinese firm showed last year), this phone extends upwards, i.e. It is longer, not wider, which is common (so that an ordinary smartphone turns into a mini-tablet). So the Lenovo/Motorola idea is certainly new; It should be considered that it becomes a reality and shows its advantage over other versions.
So From the video, we can conclude that the phone is more compact than usual (ie it has a “small” screen, maybe a little wider when it’s rolled up, and “normal to large” when it’s extended), which would be an interesting twist on the more attractive design of clamshell smartphones. (Moto Razr, Galaxy Z Flip, Huawei P50), which is its reduced size most of the time. Only here it will avoid the cover and allow more normal use of the equipment, even when it is in “small” mode.
