Seeing Samsung’s Infinity Flex Display, foldable screen phone, for the first time on Wednesday is like confirmation that aliens exist. I’ve heard the wild rumors, seen blurry photos, and have evidence that in the universe of mobile devices, something like this must exist, but seeing it in the silicon is both awe-inspiring and, just like knowing we really aren’t alone in the universe, a little unsettling.

What I saw on the livestream isn’t the most elegant prototype. The blocky, nearly inch-thick device has what appears to be a standard 4-to-5-inch screen on the outside and, folded up like a hotdog bun on the inside, an almost 8-inch flexible display surrounded by wide, gray bezels. A Samsung exec held it up on stage at the company’s annual developers conference, then folded it up and slipped it into his jacket pocket. It’s a wonder he didn’t then tip over from the weight imbalance.
