10 of the best smartphone concepts we wish were real

Nokia Morph

Designer: Nokia

Stretched out it's the size of a tablet, but it can be folded into a smaller, thicker phone or into a wrist-worn bracelet.

The Morph has other tricks up its sleeve too. It can harvest solar energy to keep itself powered and it has a superhydrophobic surface, which repels water and dirt. Plus, it has a haptic layer on the front, so suddenly touchscreen buttons can feel raised.

This is the stuff science fiction is made of, so can someone please put us in cryosleep and wake us up when it becomes science fact?
