The new device will be using TCL's 'DragonHinge' technology which offers an extendable display panel that can transform a 6.87-inch phone into an 8.85-inch phablet size or a 10-inch tablet. The phone first flips open to a form a phablet-like screen and then the device further extends the screen that's rolled inside to form an even bigger screen which is comparable to a tablet.
