  • It's a smartphone.

  • Just such a difference.

  • Ambitious, futuristic kind of approach.

  • And that's what I got in this business for, like, you know, to see crazy things like this.

  • It's a physical product.

  • It's a thing you're gonna be able to buy from.

  • Nubia is called the Nubia Alfa, And how do we crack into it?

  • Here we go.

  • Oh, my goodness, gracious.

  • That is a smartphone.

  • But now they say it will work as a smart watch as well.

  • But that this Look, what the display does goes all the way around like that.

  • There's just a straight up Bluetooth version, which is like the most futuristic looking smart watch.

  • And then there's an E Sim version.

  • That's your whole smartphone on your wrist.

  • He's got a metal band.

  • I kind of like a high end wristwatch comes in more than one color as well.

  • All right.

  • So the cable just goes into here, it stays plugged in.

  • And then this piece goes on here to charge it up.

  • Similar to other smartwatch implementations for charging.

  • There's also a very slim little charge brick included in the box as well.

  • Okay, cool.

  • Now I'm noticing as well.

  • Looks like there's a heart rate sensor in the back, which you have probably seen before on a smart watch, but never in a smart watch smartphone.

  • The band is kind of unusual also because it has to be wide in these locations to accommodate the flexible portion of the display on the other side.

  • Holy moly.

  • All right, it's charged up.

  • Look at this crazy.

  • Wow.

  • This is the setup screen.

  • Flexible display, as you can tell, English has been selected.

  • So you can navigate without How do you Oh, do you think Oh, yes.

  • It's a little hit and miss, but it does work.

  • Oh, you seen it?

  • Imagine you see me in the street, hon.

  • Can I assume there's no zoom going on?

  • You just scroll.

  • Not the greatest selfie.

  • I don't know if you're looking for some kind of spy cam Dick Tracy style than that might work.

  • So the phone call can function either directly from the device or via Bluetooth.

  • Because, of course, it features in ae sim.

  • So you could have your SIM card directly engineer, and it's a stand alone.

  • Or it could trigger a phone call on your device.

  • Now, if you move over to the next menu, then it's mostly health related.

  • Heart rate, health workout, indoor running, outdoor walking.

  • So as a smart watch without an E sim set up without having your number attached to it directly, it works.

  • Basically, like other smart watches.

  • You have notification management so you can send notifications through to this device.

  • Of course, you have a bigger display for things like weather and messages and so on.

  • Who's buying this thing?

  • You know, it's kind of like these flexible displays have inspired hardware manufacturers.

  • They're like we got to do something we could bend a display now, should fold a re folding things.

  • Should we curve around the wrist?

  • Maybe it could do some things, but it's more like a smart watch with a bigger display than it is a smartphone that you're wearing on your wrists.

  • And as a smart watch, it's honestly is kind of you just kind of big.

  • It's a whole thing.
