The concept smartphone, officially named CPlus, has a 4.26-inch display and will come in 12 colors. Oh, and you can wrap it around your wrist like a watch. Both devices are said to be coming out on the market next year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlIv7FZw73Q With all the hype, Lenovo has yet to actually prove their capability in walking that proverbial talk, however. The prototype’s interface [reportedly “cracked”]() at some point while being tried by a spokesperson, proving that although the idea is there, the execution may have some ways still to go While [other brands]() have also claimed that they will release similarly bendable and [twistable ]()devices, none have come to materialize their promise as of yet. After all, a bendable interface would require equally bendable insides as well. And people probably wouldn’t want to spend money on something that breaks after a few “bends.” Unless of course you're an early adopter. In which case, you're all-too-familar with devices going wrong. ### Author social links [Facebook]() [LinkedIn]()
