TCL concept phone has a slide-out screen, leaked images show

Before MWC got canceled, TCL was going to have a presence there, and apparently one of the things it wanted to show the world was a concept of a smartphone with a slide-out screen.

Samsung (and Motorola with the Razr) has used cutting edge technology to bring back a classic form factor. We've got our hands on a Mirror Purple retail unit of the Galaxy Z Flip and have been getting an idea of what it's like to use as a daily driver. Exactly how does a smartphone with a clamshell form-factor work differently than the regular candy bar design we've settled on in the last decade - here's what a day with the Z Flip was like... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/37y2xs3 via
