BARCELONA, Spain -- In the future, the world will be full of wearables and smartphones that can bend whatever way you want -- at least, that's what Kyocera imagines it will be.

At MWC this year, the Japanese phone company showed off some of its quirky concept devices, along with its family of waterproof Hydro smartphones.

Though none of these devices are officially brewing inside Kyocera's R&D arm, they are still enticing to think about it.

In fact, some of these products don't appear to be that far into the future -- like the arced-display smartphone, which we can see now with the LG G Flex and the Samsung Galaxy Round.
