Kyocera has introduced a EOS folding concept phone that incorporates a flexible OLED screen and changes its form factor from a clamshell into something more closely resembling a wallet or clutch-purse.
Kyocera’s industrial designer Susan McKinney said the concept envisions a future where we have a more humanistic relationship with our phones.
She said the shape memory allows keys to morph up from its surface when needed and fade away when not in use. The flexibility of the screen allows for greater adaptability of form and interaction, and maintains a compact shape (the size of a small wallet) for simple phone calls, and unfolds to reveal a large widescreen display, she said.
