Bendy smartphone will go on sale this year (but it's not made by the company you're expecting)
A Chinese firm is preparing to release the world's first bendy mobile phone.
Samsung was expected to be the first firm to release a pliable phone , but it looks like it'll be pipped to the post by the Moxi Group.
According to Bloomberg , the company will ship 100,000 units of its devices this year, which will cost 5,000 yuan (£522).
Initially, the gizmo will only feature black and white screens but a colour version is likely to come afterwards.
If the bendable gadget sells well in the People's Republic, then it could be sold in the rest of the world.
"Black and white phones are much easier to make," said Chongsheng Yu, executive vice president of Moxi.

"The colour model power usage is also much higher than that of the black and white unit. We’ll sell in China and if there’s demand overseas, we’ll look into it."
The movable phone uses graphene technology to enable its wibbly wobbly ways.
Its processor and battery are stuffed in one side of the gadget, which means its free to bend into a circular shape.
The phone will use an advanced version of e-ink, which many people will be familiar with from Amazon's Kindle.
