Those who want to avoid this can use a smartwatch, but with their small displays and severely limited app selection, these devices often cannot replace a smartphone.
As Burnplate and @xleaks7 have discovered, Motorola has patented a device with a foldable display that functions as both a smartphone and a smartwatch.
Given the current state of technology, this device would be comparatively thick and heavy as a smartwatch, while the smartphone display, composed of multiple panels, would not be particularly comfortable to use.
As is usually the case, patents merely reveal what a company is working on internally.
