I’ve seen plenty of inventive smartphone concepts over the years, but very few that actually seem functional. That’s why the rollable Motorola Rizr seriously impressed me when I got to go hands-on with it at the company’s HQ in Chicago.
The Rizr — not to be confused with the foldable Motorola Razr — is a palm-sized handset with a display that shape-shifts from a 5-inch, 15:9 screen to a 6.5 inch, 22:9 screen with a double press of a button. The flexible display curls around the bottom edge of the device, somewhat like a conveyor belt.
