The exact mechanism of this thing work is still unknown. The best guess is one portion of the flexible display bends or wraps behind the other. Although it could make the phone thicker, what the renders are showing is crazy.
It also reminds us of the Samsung patent with an expandable display area. One thing is for sure, this is a very exciting concept.
CNET's trusted source said that the expandable phone is the device that the journalists would have seen a the Mobile World Congress this month. But, the biggest mobile tech show on earth has been canceled due to health concerns regarding the Novel Coronavirus scare.
