When it comes to flexible displays, there has been some prototypes shown off in the past, and it does look as though the industry will continue to explore the possibility of releasing such devices in the near future. However, the bending iPhone 6 Plus does not count toward the array of flexible devices. Having said that, what you see here is known as Portal – and it is far from being the popular computer game, as it is a wearable device which was specially designed for those who want something new and durable when it comes to communications.
Right now, the Portal remains as an Indiegogo project, but should it actually make its way to the market in due time after raising the adequate amount of funds, not to mention to be able to overcome whatever potential engineering pitfalls that there are, here we are with the Portal that is said to be worn comfortably on either forearm, and there will be no ports or cord connectivity whatsoever.
Portal is made out of adamantium – I jest, but it is said to be scratch and shatterproof, water resistant, and flexible, and can be unlocked and used with most major carriers. The soft Impact restive Kevlar infused body is what makes it so tough, and the button-less design ensures it is water resistant. It will run on an Android-based operating system, and will support gesture and motion based native function commands.
