I'm just waiting for smart watches to get bigger and bigger and eventually lose the strap.
I mean that's kinda what the new razr is. I got one because Asus enbiggened their ZenPhone to normal dimensions. And the razr folds in half but it's still as wide as the phablets we pass off as typical.
The battery is still dense and the outer screen is still glass, so the weight distribution isn't great without the extra length for your fingers to share the load. But it's essentially an overgrown watch when it's closed. I rarely open it, so it's not like the external screen is useless.
Haha! I was thinking the same. Saw someone post ads for wireless headphone straps, so it's a matter of time before techbros reinvent phones, but worse.
