Nokia Kinetic device demo

Nokia's research team is working on flexible displays and UIs. We got a chance to test it out ourselves — just bend the screen to select, zoom, move between UI elements, and change the volume of music. It's crazy, wild, and as awesome as it looks to play with.

That technology would make one durable phone

Interesting concept and nice to see Nokia taking innovating like this, though I would consider this a step backwards as far as practicality..

Ils vont se ruiner à la concurrence de la Pomme, ça me rappelle la Guerre Froide :D

how would you type?

After prolonged use, try to thumbs up this with your real finger !!

While I don't like the whole controlling it by bending it I do like that it actually bendable overall.

Nokia has a history of making durable phones, this is most likely a very good part of that. c:

@LeadFarmer1597 It's actually more practical than regular touch screen functions, because it's a natural movement according to your brains coordination system. It's not just a "fun gadget". There's a lot of science behind something like that.

It's only workable, till you bend it too far. :P

amazing phone ! i hope nokia will succeed again in smartphones, because it really deserves it, on the contrary apple bastards are earning mountains of dollars by selling their 600€ crap...

i wish smartphone were flexible in the future, because i'm fed up with breaking my phone each time it falls

@koysoralimimza1926 nokia was designing touchscreen years before apple :D kinda failed there. problem is, all u want is design, its a brand thing, why would buy best phone that looks like banana when theres shiny iphone that is sligthly overrated for what it really is. and this design would make phones kinda long lasting since if they dont break from bending them then they wont break if u drop them.

@koysoralimimza1926 Its a tech demo dumbass
