I'm not convinced it's answering a question anyone's actually asked, but that's amazing!

I see a lot of commuters watching tv series on their small screen phones whilst on the train home/to work. Would be perfect for them.

That is beyond cool.

Amazing and a game changing feature, screen change looks seamless and thought it was some sort of CGI until saw it working from the top bezel.

Brilliant. If its cost effective and repeatable I think that makes folding phones immediately obsolete - despite them not even really taken off yet!

[frisbee]

Motorised expanding, don't carry it in your front pocket!

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. I like Oppo anyway (even as a devout iPhone use) and their innovations are next level.

Surely you'd just buy a tablet?

With this you can't use a case or screen protector and all those moving parts are just going to drag all sorts of crap inside.

Monstrously cool though!

In an age where it feels like upgrades are so incremental, that’s pretty impressive tech.. I too like Oppo, I believe they did the worlds thinnest phone at some point too.

Really? I think many people have wanted this for years. A phone in your picked that can sometimes provide a big screen. I’ve never bought a tablet but I would absolutely buy one of these at a similar price.

Agreed. Folding phones don't appeal, but an expanding phone looks like a great idea.

Its actually perfect for how I'd use it. I'm in.

I'm just a grumpy luddite then.
