近年来，采用OLED显示器的可折叠智能手机设计逐渐标准化，手机展开后屏幕通常可达折叠时尺寸的2-3倍。折叠技术的运用不仅赋予智能手机更大的屏幕，也整合了功能，提高了便携性。nendo设计的新手机在折叠时尺寸仅有54毫米x 86毫米，仅相当于一张信用卡的大小，三条“折痕”可以实现手机沿同一方向的多次折叠。

Among foldable smartphones with OLED panel monitors developed in recent years, most follow the trend of folding to the size of a standard smartphone and unfolding to a screen two or three times as big. By using the folding technology, portability was enhanced exploiting the compactness for a new sense of functionality instead of the screen being enlarged. The phone in its folded state is 54 mm by 86 mm, the size of a credit card, featuring three hinges folding over in the same direction.

手机像毛虫一样具有多个环节，可以滑动展开，用户仅用拇指便可实现不同折叠操作。滑动一次时，可展开40毫米的屏幕，显示出时间、通话记录、通知以及音乐播放器等界面。再次滑动则可以将屏幕拓展至80毫米，并激活已移动至顶部的摄像头。这种模式下，屏幕和前置摄像头处于同一界面，适用于自拍、视频通话等多种场景。随着手机完全展开，屏幕将达到独特、细长的7英寸比例。

Like an inchworm, the phone makes use of its multiple joints to in effect slide sideways, and can be transformed only by the user’s one thumb operation. Sliding one fold up exposes 40 mm of the screen with various functions, such as the time, call history, notifications, and even the music player interface, all available on the limited area. Next, sliding the second fold reveals 80 mm of the screen as well as the camera, which the user might notice has simultaneously moved to the top of the device. This is a fitting configuration for taking selfies or video calls and other functions linking the screen with the front-facing camera. Unfolding the entire phone unveils a 7-inch screen with a unique, slender proportion.

用户可以通过侧边菜单操控视频的播放，在游戏模式下也可以使用两侧面板实现多任务下的分屏使用，还可以将整个屏幕展开，享受全景展示。

In addition to playing videos with an operable side panel, the user may also enjoy the phone as a controller in game mode with panels on either side, in multitask mode with numerous apps displayed in a row, and panoramic photography mode in full screen.

手机侧面的操作按钮呈对半切开的圆形，可作为2或4个小巧的半圆形按钮独立使用，也可以随着滑动合成一个按钮。

The controls on the side of the phone are shaped like ellipses cut in half, functioning as two to four buttons, becoming small, semicircular buttons or combining into one large button as the folds slide up and down.

此外，折叠手机还配置了触控笔，手机对折打开时将完美还原在笔记本上书写的感觉。此外，独特的设计概念还使用户可以单独打开或关闭屏幕的上半部分，模拟了翻动页面的效果。

Further, the stylus ordinarily inserted in the phone may be taken out for use and the phone folded in half to give the user the feeling of writing in a notepad. The notion resulted in an interface allowing the user to open and close the upper half of the screen to, as it were, flip the page.

无线充电器与不同折叠状态下的手机完美匹配，在充电时也保证了整体的外观。

Lastly, the wireless charger stand is angled to match the hinged state of the phone so as to have an integrated appearance while charging.

转轴处覆盖着绒面皮革，削弱了铰链无机、刚性的触感。手机的其他部分也采用了与皮革相匹配的柔和色调。

The hinges are covered with suede leather to prevent the impression that, for having three hinges, the phone is an inorganic, rigid contrivance. The rest of the phone is colored in calming tones selected for their compatibility with this leather.

设计为智能手机提供了新的思路。手机的使用不仅局限于折叠和打开时两种状态，在部分折叠时也同样可以使用。

The design opens up new possibilities for smartphones, for their use not only while fully folded or opened but while partially unfolded or while bent.
