Not enough space on your screen?

Lenovo
unveils a laptop with an EXTENDABLE display
that can expand by three inches with the flip of
a switch
Whether it's while you're working from home or checking your emails on a train, there are
often times we wish our laptop screen had more space. But the days of despairing over a
lack of second screen could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Lenovo's latest invention. 

The tech giant has unveiled a laptop with an extendable screen at Mobile
World Congress (MWC) 2023. With the flip of a switch, the 12.7-inch screen takes just 10
seconds to become a 15.3-inch display. While the futuristic device is on display at MWC in
Barcelona, it's a very early proof of concept and is unlikely to be released to the public for
some time yet.

MWC, the world's largest trade show for the telecoms industry, returned to Barcelona this
week to unveil the latest technology in smartphones. Tens of thousands of attendees arrived
for the first day to see what the biggest brands have in store for the future, from 6G to the
Metaverse. 

Daily Mail's Technology Editor, Jim Norton, visited the Lenovo stand to see the extendable
laptop screen in action. The screen features a discreet button on the side, allowing users to
extend their display quickly and easily. Lenovo believes the extendable screen would be
helpful for both office workers needing to see more cells in a spreadsheet or web designers
wanting more space for lines of code.

It is aiming to make it durable enough for it to extend between 20,000 to 30,000 times in its
lifecycle, though it wouldn't give any further detail about weight or battery life. The company
also revealed a smartphone that extended – in contrast to the current trend among other big
brands of having foldable phones to increase screen size.

The demo version grows vertically from a 5 in display to 6.5 in. Also, on display at MWC was
the Nubia 3D pad - a £900 tablet that can bring films, games and even Zoom meetings to
live by showing them all in 3D. Two AI-enabled cameras above the screen track each of the
user's eyes as they watch the screen, which enables the screen to look 3D from wherever
you look.

The 12.4inch device, which launches globally next month, can show films and games in 3D,
while it will also work on Zoom. It can also convert 2D pictures and videos into 3D, allowing
users to look at products – such as the latest shoes – as though they are in front of them.
Chinese tech firm Nubia, which is owned by ZTE, has equipped the device with a 2.5k
screen and four symmetrical speakers supporting Dolby Surround Sound.
