Almost two hours into the keynote, Lexi Valasek with the Motorola Innovation Research team took the stage with the latest iteration of Moto’s bendy concept phone.
Like the one Motorola showed off at Tech World 2016, a couple of years after it was acquired by Lenovo, it’s a large smartphone built around a flexible OLED display that can bend backward to wrap around the wrist, cuff-style.
When Valasek snapped it onto her wrist, she did so over what looked like a watch but seems to be a blank metal square held on with a watchband.
It might be magnetic and seems to be there to prevent the phone cuff from flying off your wrist every time you move your arm.
But it’s still nice to see a remnant of that ol’ Moto spirit, and you can draw a pretty straight line between the folding tablet concept in Meghan McCarthy’s other hand in the video from 2016 to the Moto Razr Plus, a real phone you can buy today.
That video, incidentally, is full of gems, from the reveal of the one and only Google Tango device to a lengthy discussion of Moto Mods — may they rest in peace.
