Your next mobile device could be a transformer
Technology is really evolving by the day with new innovations everyday one of which is the fact that your next mobile device could be a transformer.
The new smartphone, Cubimorph is a bundle of touchscreen cubes, which can be folded into different arrangements based on the use of the device.
It could resemble a controller while playing a game, but turn into a traditional phone for voice calls. Each corner of the device has a hinge, which can lock into place or swing to reconfigure the device.

The prototype is far from being consumer-ready, but it certainly doesn’t take any design cues from the iPhone.
The new smartphone produced by Bristol Interaction Group will be presented at the 2016 International Conference on Robotics and Automation.
