There are still a bunch of smartphone surprises in all shapes and forms coming from the Land of the Rising Sun with every new carrier portfolio. We say shapes and forms, since that's exactly the selling point of the NEC Medias W that is included in NTT DoCoMo's spring launch. Samsung might have a prototype bending phone in the labs with the YOUM flexible screens, but the Japanese are taking the simpler approach.
They just slapped two 4.3" qHD panels, and connected them with a hinge, so when closed the NEC Medias W is not larger than your average smartphone, just a bit thicker. When you open it, though, it reveals a screen that is Note II-sized and more in diagonal, letting you fool around with apps stretching on both screens, or use two apps at the same time.
In addition to a number of devices introduced at Mobile World Congress, one of which attracted the attention of many devices is the smartphone that can be folded out of the NEC.
Device known as the NEC Medias W is only targeted for the Japanese market only for now, and is said to be extended to other countries soon.
