They have no intention of abandoning their regular phones for foldables, but are purely engaging in a \u2018display of innovation\u2019 to show who\u2019s doing folding hardware better. The fundamental problem still remains \u2013 do we even need folding phones? What would we even use them for?<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I don\u2019t think we do, because there\u2019s no task that\u2019s so crucial that it requires a massive screen that folds in half in your pocket. The major bulk of smartphone users don\u2019t need to watch Netflix at random moments in the day, they don\u2019t multitask on their phones either, and browsing the internet on a square display is just fabulous\u2026 said nobody ever. Folding phones are absolutely unnecessary\u2026 but folding displays still have some merit. It\u2019s just that we\u2019ve been looking at them wrong. Meet Divid, a smart speaker with a folding display that presents a perfect use-case for flexible display units.<\/p>\n<p>Designers: Jooahn Yoon &amp; JBNU Industrial Design Club<\/p>\n<p>Rendered on KeyShot:\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3UPQoc2\">Click Here to Download Your Free Trial Now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-442291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/07\/03\/weve-been-using-folding-displays-all-wrong-this-speaker-concept-shows-flexible-screens-done-right\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"We\u2019ve Been Using Folding Displays All Wrong \u2013 This Speaker Concept Shows Flexible Screens Done Right\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-442291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/07\/03\/weve-been-using-folding-displays-all-wrong-this-speaker-concept-shows-flexible-screens-done-right\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"We\u2019ve Been Using Folding Displays All Wrong \u2013 This Speaker Concept Shows Flexible Screens Done Right\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"1004baf4498b8ab7dfe21e53-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"1004baf4498b8ab7dfe21e53-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Divid isn\u2019t your average smart speaker that plays music or tells you the weather.

The Divid makes for a great unit to have at a concierge desk, a retail setup, at a meeting table, or even mounted on walls as a way-finding device. The screen folds open when you need something singular, and folds over to face the person opposite you when you need them to look at data like statistics, notes, cards, previews, invoice details, booking details, or even payment confirmations. The speaker just augments the Divid\u2019s abilities, allowing for audio cues as well as music.<\/p>\n<p>Being a smart speaker, it would probably work well at home too, displaying different information on both halves of the screen like allowing kids to watch different shows while facing each other at the dinner table! Divid\u2019s designer also highlighted a rather novel way to extend your television\u2019s screen simply by popping a Divid speaker on one side to give you extra screen estate.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-442293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/07\/03\/weve-been-using-folding-displays-all-wrong-this-speaker-concept-shows-flexible-screens-done-right\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"We\u2019ve Been Using Folding Displays All Wrong \u2013 This Speaker Concept Shows Flexible Screens Done Right\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-442293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/07\/03\/weve-been-using-folding-displays-all-wrong-this-speaker-concept-shows-flexible-screens-done-right\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"We\u2019ve Been Using Folding Displays All Wrong \u2013 This Speaker Concept Shows Flexible Screens Done Right\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"1004baf4498b8ab7dfe21e53-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"1004baf4498b8ab7dfe21e53-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-442294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/07\/03\/weve-been-using-folding-displays-all-wrong-this-speaker-concept-shows-flexible-screens-done-right\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"We\u2019ve Been Using Folding Displays All Wrong \u2013 This Speaker Concept Shows Flexible Screens Done Right\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-442294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/07\/03\/weve-been-using-folding-displays-all-wrong-this-speaker-concept-shows-flexible-screens-done-right\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"We\u2019ve Been Using Folding Displays All Wrong \u2013 This Speaker Concept Shows Flexible Screens Done Right\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/07\/auto-draft\/divid_ai_speaker_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>While the Divid is still a conceptual device, it does something that smartphones haven\u2019t been able to do \u2013 highlight the usefulness of a folding display by putting it to actual good use.
