The prototype smartphone features a durable AMOLED display that is 6.18 inches in size, with a resolution of 3,040 by 1,440 pixels. The folding functionality of the smartphone allows it to reveal its expansive display when needed for performing tasks and hiding it away in a compact frame for easily carrying it without any unnecessary heft.

The Sharp Foldable AMOLED smartphone is reported by the company to withstand 300,000 bending cycles to ensure it's ready for continued opening and closing each day without showing signs of wear or tear.
