The device features a fabric-covered back and a magnetic strap for wrist attachment, allowing it to display notifications like a smartwatch.

It's uncertain whether this futuristic wrist phone will ever become available for purchase.
ZDNet's Kerry Wan tried out Motorola's bendable phone concept at Mobile World Congress, finding it both cool and ambitious but also glitchy and bug-ridden. The phone, which can wrap around the wrist, received nods of approval despite its issues. Wan also tested Motorola's "Moto-rolla" concept, a rollable display, and found it more refined than the bendable phone. Ultimately, if given the choice, Wan would put stock into the rollable over the bendable concept.

Despite uncertainties, Motorola's attempt to bring something fresh to the smartphone market reflects the industry's transition towards foldable form factors.
