In addition to the foldable smartphones from Huawei and Samsung, other manufacturers find it difficult to get customers' attention. What you need for this are real revolutions. Nubia has considered that they put the smartphone on their wrists and present their Smartwatch Alpha. A cell phone that is worn as a watch.

It has a flexible AMOLED display and almost all functions that you would otherwise need a smartphone for. You can take photos, make phone calls, receive messages and make video calls. The watch is controlled via the touchscreen and gesture control. However, the manufacturer will need a lot of persuasion in the design, because the watch looks incredibly chunky. The 4-inch display and the thick edges immediately catch the eye.

Nubia Alpha: The watch cannot replace the smartphone

Activities can be recorded via the integrated pulse sensor, the display shows messages from the smartphone. The camera reminds us of the first photo cell phones, because with 5 MP you cannot expect stunning photos.

With a price of around 450 euros, the Nubia Alpha is also quite expensive and can not replace the smartphone in the end. Apps cannot be installed any more than messages can be written on WhatsApp. In the end, it's nothing more than a feasibility study with which Nubia wants to show what the future looks like. We hope that something will change by then. The watch is unlikely to be a bestseller, even if it is aimed primarily at the Chinese market.
