Xiaomi Mi Band X with 360-degree Wraparound Display allegedly in the works

Xiaomi is allegedly working on a futuristic Mi Band X that has a 360-degree wraparound display. A few leaked presentation photos reveal that the flexible screen will wrap around a users wrist and snap magnetically. There is no conventional buckle pr clasp to break the continuity. 

The slides also assure that the Mi Band X will be a slim and light product, but that’ll also make it tricky for Xiaomi to make room for a sizeable battery needed to fuel the extra-large display.

Of course, whether the concept takes on will also largely depend on the applications of the 360-degree flexible screen. Come to think of it a cool use case could be the entire bracelet acting as a fill progress bar filling up as you reach your workout goal - though again that could be utterly harsh on the battery. The extra screen real state will also make it more convenient to check the phone’s notifications log and messages. 

Manufacturers like ZTE have earlier flirted with flexible displays on wearables for products like Nubia Alpha and Nubia Watch. However, the use of the extended flexible screen was mostly for making a style statement rather than adding tangible features. 

This isn’t the first time that Xiaomi is literally pushing the limits. Its obsession with wrap-around screens dates back to Mi Mix Alpha (first impressions), which did hit retail shelves but was never meant for the mass market. For all we know at this stage, the Mi Band X may very well end up being just a cool concept prototype. 

Even if the Mi Band X makes it to the consumer markets, it surely won’t be affordable as is given for Xiaomi’s other Mi band options like the recently launched Mi Band 6 that’s yet to make its way to India.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
