Lenovo’s MWC booth showed off a Motorola rollable smartphone concept, which, according to some, could be called the Moto Rizr. Yep, homage to the 2006 iconic Motorola Rizr Z3 slider phone.

This means you just press Transform from a mini phone to a plus phone at the touch of a button, allowing for easy one-handed use and a larger screen for media consumption when needed. Just double-tap the power button. Although Motorola says that if there is a mass-market device based on this, the controls may be different.

The screen is pOLED As with all rollable and foldable displays, BOE-made displays also bring a range of Durability issues. The panel wraps around the back of the device, leaving a small display that can be used for notifications or as a camera viewfinder to preview photos.

Durability is a big question mark for rollables, even more so than foldables. This Motorola’s rollable screen is always exposed, and a mere drop could ruin the entire experience. We also had to consider the movement mechanism for scrolling the display up and down. Then rollable phones make better use of space in a more compact form factor, an enticing proposition.
