Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Most Futuristic Flexible Display Phone”.
Holy moly, we got something weird. We got something beautiful today. This is what you signed up for. This is what you subscribed for this thing in front of me. It’S a smart phone, flexible watch, wrist, warn phone call text message you put on your wrist.
It’S a whole phone that goes on your wrist with a flexible display that wraps around your wrist. This is this is wild, just such a different, ambitious, futuristic, kind of approach, and that’s what i got in this business for, like you, know, to see crazy things like this. It’S a physical product, it’s a thing, you’re gon na be able to buy from nubia. It’S called the nubia alpha and how do we crack into it here we go.
Oh, my goodness, gracious. That is a smartphone. What now they say it will work as a smart watch as well, but they just look what the display does goes all the way around. Like that, there’s just a straight up, bluetooth version, which is like the most futuristic looking smartwatch and then there’s an esim version.
That’S your whole smartphone on your wrist. It’S got a metal band kind of like a high-end wrist watch. It comes in more than one color.
As well there’s a gold version, this is the black. This is more my style. You can see it has a a camera on it as well.
It’S a 5 megapixel camera, that’s a whole phone, it’s wild! What else is in the box? Let’S check a cable to charge it up hang on. Ah there we go okay, cool all right, so the cable just goes into here. It stays plugged in and then this piece goes on here to charge it up similar to other smartwatch implementations for charging.
There’S also a very slim little charge, brick included in the box as well: okay, cool now, i’m noticing as well. It looks like there’s a heart rate sensor in the back, which you have probably seen before on a smart watch, but never in a smart watch smartphone. The band is kind of unusual also because it has to be wide in these locations to accommodate the flexible portion of the display on the other side, holy moly, all right, it’s charged up look at this crazy wow. This is the setup screen flexible display, as you can tell, english has been selected, let’s go ahead and click next here. Look at the user terms. This is the most narrow display i’ve ever used next. Allow allow left wrist mail hold on okay. We’Re connected. Is this guy ready to go? Oh, my goodness, gracious.
Would you look at that? I got ta. Try this thing on that is so weird. It’S futuristic inspector gadget blade runner the future. Just has these things in it, you know it. You feel it. Oh wow.
They nailed the sizing for me as well uh, that’s what it looks like rolls around the entire wrist look at this thing. You scroll it’s kind of hard for you guys to see with the reflection, but look at this. This is how you interact settings. Oh that’s! Brightness actually, 30 being maxed by the looks of it.
It also has gestures, so you can navigate without how do you do that? Oh, what do you think? Oh, yes, go it’s a little hit and miss, but it does work. Oh, are you seeing that? Imagine you see me in the street uh, i’m gon na really do an oldest on their way, wow it. Actually, this is working better. Now you can use the buttons as well or you can just reach out and touch it so anyhow, settings up here! Next is time, obviously it’s a watch still so you’re gon na have this.
You know you’re going to have this face in the center. Your fitness aspects, like the steps you’ve taken activity level battery life over here and then also some options. Phone calls, health and whatnot. Now, if i scroll over here, it’s almost like a different menu to interact with it just keeps scrolling all the way around like an infinite wheel.
Map wechat messages calls camera. Oh that’s, weird, a 5 megapixel camera. How do i i took what it moved on me. You can you can move the camera around okay. Here we go 5 megapixel. Can i zoom there’s no zoom going on you just scroll, not the greatest selfie.
I don’t know if you’re looking for some kind of spy, cam dick tracy style, then that might work. So the phone call can function either directly from the device or via bluetooth uh, because of course it features an esim. So you could have your sim card directly in here and it’s a standalone or it could trigger a phone call on your device. Now, if you move over to the next menu, then it’s mostly health, related heart rate, health, workout, indoor running outdoor walking, one more time schedule stop watch countdown alarm, music system, gesture health setting sound display, oh baby, t9, t9 typing stopwatch useful. Oh there we go check out the scrolling watch weather very nice, so as a smart watch without an e sim setup without having your number attached to it directly. It works basically, like other smart watches.
You have notification management, so you can send notifications through to this device. Of course you have a bigger display for things like weather and messages and so on. There’S a t9 keyboard in there that you can use not sure if you’d want to, because, of course, it’s a bit slow now it has its own internal storage also, so you could load up songs directly onto it. If you wanted to well there’s also a marquee feature: yeah marquee, let’s check this out, create edit, oh see.
Look at that. Can i say anything: i want all day long, willy do and otis on their way, save oh on their way. Whoa. It stopped it on too long. This thing is bananas. I don’t know who is well who’s buying this thing, you know what it’s kind of like these flexible displays have inspired.
Hardware manufacturers they’re like we got ta, do something we can bend the display now. Should we fold, are we folding things? Should we curve around the wrist? Maybe it can do some things, but it’s more like a smartwatch with a bigger display than it is a smartphone that you’re wearing on your wrist and as a smartwatch. It’S honestly, it’s kind of huge, it’s kind of big. It’S a whole thing will get in here we’re going to chat for a minute. I can see a future in this where go on we’re listening.
It would just be like a strap of oled all the way. Yeah, okay, i can, i can see a feature in this. It’S basically so you’re all about it, you’re all about it. I didn’t say that, but you know it’s. It’S pretty cool yeah i mean look, there’s there’s a long way to go with this and uh. I would say that this is actually really cool. Okay. This is really cool. Just from a hardware perspective, ambition, gadget factor – yeah, definitely i mean if it wraps around like.
I think that would be the move. It’S cool. It’S super futuristic, like i said when a video started, blade runner, matrix, total recall, star wars, star trek demolition, man, lawn mower man, futurama back to the future back to the future self self-lacing sneakers hoverboards we’re not ready for this.
Yet mankind is not ready for this. Yet it’s the nubia alpha and one day we’re all going to be wearing one. Maybe not this one but, like you know, version 12..
Yeah, 20 years is a long time. Well, i know you don’t know what you’re wearing you don’t know what you look like in 20 years, probably won’t be wearing anything. .
