Rizr up.

As well as Lenovo’s rollable laptop concept, we also checked out a phone prototype from its Motorola subsidiary. The company called it the “Motorola Rollable” in our demonstration, but it appears to be called the “Rizr” if the name printed on the rear of the device is anything to go by. That’s a nod to Motorola’s sliding feature phones from the mid 00s. Find our full thoughts here.

Unrolling Lenovo’s latest laptop and phone concepts at MWC 2023.

Just when we were getting used to foldable phones, tablets, and laptops, these concept designs suggest rollable screens are in the near future, ready to extend the view by a few more inches when you need them to, without taking up more space in your pocket or bag.

Jon Porter is at Mobile World Congress 2023 this week and can show you Lenovo’s rollable screen laptop plus its Motorola-branded rollable phone.

The Pantone color of the year is...Viva Magenta!

Every year Pantone unveils a trending color to represent the year ahead, and for 2023, that’s PANTONE 18-1750 which is otherwise known as “Viva Magenta.”

Some gadgets, like the Motorola Edge 30 Fusion, are already rocking the purple-red hue — perhaps Motorola has paid for a Pantone Connect subscription following the color system’s spat with Adobe.
