Watch Lenovo's bendable phone prototype on video: you can wrap it around your wrist!

The sci-fi-grade prototypes were found in the hands of YouTuber Meghan McCarthy, who conveniently happened to show up in a dress with no pockets. "So where am I supposed to put my phone?" Meghan asks, as she proceeds to bend the unsuspecting handset into a wristband-style shape and put it around her wrist: "I just wear it!"

But this wasn't all, as next up, she showcased a tablet prototype which could be conveniently folded in two, in order to assume a more phablet-type shape and footprint.

As cool as these devices may already look, Lenovo assured that they are still very early work-in-progress. However, this is the first time we get such a direct, real demo of bendable phone/tablet technology, which comes to show that real progress is made in the field. If our calculations are correct, we should be just a few short years away from actual, working, commercial flexible devices.
