Samsung calls its wrist phone concept the Cling Band, but I’m struggling not to think of it as the Samsung Bend and Snap.

I like the idea of the Cling Band doubling as a highly customisable fashion accessory.

It only goes part of the way around the wrist, and could potentially slip off.

Don’t wave too vigorously while wearing it!

If Samsung eventually puts the Cling Band on sale, I hope it’ll be available in this fetching shade of lilac.

The Cling Band’s screen was just about scrollable.

At one point it displayed a running route, which would probably be very useful if you like to jog.

Samsung also showed off a speaker with a flexible display.

An OLED car key can display info about your car without having to look at the dashboard.
