Nubia revealed Smartphone/watch, the Nubia Alpha, but do we really need it?
One thing that makes the Chinese smartphone brand stands out is the look. The flexible display design is different from most of the mainstream design. It not only has the regular functions of a smartphone (fitness tracking, voice call), the Numbia alpha also has a 5MP camera, and let you watch movies. Nubia said the screen could last about 100,000 times of bending.
However, there is a reason why Apple and Samsung aren’t interested. First of all there is the obvious question, more screen equals to less battery life, a completely redesign of the UI, and more heat emission. The placement of the camera requires a contortionist’s skill to take a photo without taking the watch off, and watching a movie on the 45:9 screen is just a nightmare.
The design looks a little awkward and clunky. It reminds us of the pre-smartphone era when Chinese manufacturers loaded the phone with gimmicks and horrible UX.
Nevertheless, it is an interesting attempt to make something different from what we have.
Nubia said they will make the Nubia Alpha available in April for about $510
