While actual consumer level flexible smartphones are still a ways off, the researchers at the Human Media Lab have come up with the HoloFlex proof of concept smartphone. Featuring a flexible, bendable design, the HoloFlex also has another trick up its sleeve in that it can project 3D holograms. This comes at the price of turning the phones 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution into just 160 x 104 pixels for an awesome but rather blurry image. Quite obviously, there are no Malaysia release dates for this, but it is definitely cool to watch, so check out the HoloFlex for yourself below.

They also noted that the fingerprint sensor is the same high-quality one as the part in the Huawei Nexus 6P so while you're in trouble if the display gets broken, everything else is top notch.
