iPhone X Flex 2018 Shows Some Apple Love for Foldables

If you’ve had enough of Samsung and Microsoft foldable phones, you may want the Apple version of it. Thus, here comes the iPhone X Flex, courtesy of Techconfigurations. It goes to great lengths to also deliver an iPad experience and has an in display fingerprint scanner.

The iPhone X Flex manages to stay slim and stylish in spite of actually being two phones tuck together. It also gets a triple camera and I love how it looks in the unfolded iPad Mode. That one triggers an 8 inch 4K HDR display, which would much battery like Pac Man for sure. The curved edge that serves as the hinge is actually a nice idea and I see that the stainless steel frame is still present.

A laptop mode is also demoed, with one screen being the actual display and the other a keyboard. There’s an Apple A13 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and once the two screen parts are hooked up, there seems to be no seam here. A patented concealed hinge is excellently implemented, so much so that I fear some real device maker would steal it. The only thing lacking here is an Apple Pencil maybe and perhaps a more visible front camera.

iPhone X Flex has a left side that feels like the Nokia Lumia 800 and the right side is curvy like the Galaxy S8 and S9. I have a good feeling about this format.
