As more companies are looking to create their own version of a bendable smartphone like Samsung and Royale (FlexPai), it’s hard to think of new ways to make the smartphone bend and where it’ll bend.

Xiaomi coming out with this type of bendable smartphone prototype takes the cake with it folding inward from the ends of the device, but it’s something we may or may not see in consumers hands.
