    It's an interesting idea, but I do somewhat fear that the compromises necessary to meet the form factor would make it much less useful as a smart phone than my iphone currently is. And I don't mean this specific instance, as a 192x960 seems somewhat crippling, but more in general.

    That said, I suppose I'd be totally down for an object I could wear on my wrist, and say, unfold once or twice into a reasonable size. That would be pretty handy.

      Disagree, the article is based on a new design for wearables based on an entirely different operating system and systematic design philosophy than standard - the idea that Nubia Alpha could be "the future" of the wearables/techbology is a very valid point.

      The original article depicts and writes about the new form factor, the discussion should be about if its the future (gaining makretshare/being successful) in the marketplace in comparison to the current generation of wearables. This is the first time I have seen anything, even experimental, come out of the space since the inception.

        That would be more appropriate to do as a comment instead of just changing the title. There's nothing in the article that supported that title.

        My point was that you could have provided the article's original title instead of sensationalizing and dressing it up with a headline that's a textbook example of Betteridge's Law of Headlines. I expect better from content that I see on Tildes.
