Electroactive Polymer Morphable Phone MorphDevice Launches: One Screen Freely Switches Between Phone, Tablet, and Watch
MorphDevice uses electroactive polymer screen technology to control screen curvature and area through electrical signals, enabling a single device to switch between multiple form factors.
Electroactive Polymer Morphable Phone MorphDevice Launches
On October 11, 2030, Finnish tech company Polaris Devices unveiled the MorphDevice morphable phone in Helsinki. The device uses electroactive polymer (EAP) screen technology, allowing users to switch freely between phone (6-inch), tablet (10-inch), and watch (2-inch wraparound) form factors through gesture or voice commands.
At the heart of MorphDevice is a flexible screen based on dielectric elastomers. When different voltages are applied, the elastomer undergoes controlled deformation, changing the screen's curvature and effective display area. In phone mode, the screen is flat; when switching to tablet mode, the elastomer at the screen edges expands, growing the display from 6 inches to 10 inches; in watch mode, the screen automatically curls into a ring shape that clasps around the wrist.
Polaris Devices CEO Mikko Virtanen said: "MorphDevice is not three devices in one, but one device in three forms. Its core philosophy is that devices should adapt to people, not the other way around."
In terms of hardware, MorphDevice is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and a 4,500mAh battery. The screen resolution is 2K with 120Hz refresh rate support.
MorphDevice is priced at 2,499 euros and will first go on sale in the European market on November 1, 2030. Virtanen acknowledged that EAP screen durability remains the biggest technical risk but noted that internal testing shows the screen can withstand over 100,000 form-factor switches.
