Folding screens have been common on phones for a while now, but they haven’t made much of a dent in the PC accessory space. Aura Displays is trying to change that with the Single Flex Pro, a new 13.3-inch portable monitor that uses a flexible AMOLED panel. The idea is straightforward: give people a decent-sized second screen that folds in half so it actually fits in a smaller bag without taking up too much room.
Aura Displays Single Flex Pro Specs
When it’s folded shut, the monitor measures about 6 by 9 inches and is just over half an inch thick. It weighs 1.54 pounds, which is fairly standard for portable monitors, but the folding mechanism makes its footprint much smaller when you are traveling. When you open it up, you get a 13.3-inch display with a 3:4 aspect ratio.
Aura Displays says it uses a proprietary hinge and panel design it calls FlexMatrix. In practice, this means you can use the screen completely flat, slightly bent, or propped up like an open book. You can also rotate it between standard landscape and portrait modes, which is generally useful if you spend a lot of time looking at code, spreadsheets, or long text documents.
As for the display itself, it’s an AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1536 x 2048. It has a standard 60Hz refresh rate and tops out at 300 nits of brightness. That brightness level is fine for an office or a coffee shop, but you probably won’t want to use it outside in direct sunlight.
Because it’s an OLED, you get deep blacks and good color coverage, and the screen also supports touch input. Connectivity is handled by a single USB-C port, making it a simple plug-and-play setup for Macs, Windows PCs, iPads, and most mobile devices.
Unsurprisingly, putting a folding OLED screen into a portable monitor makes it expensive. The Single Flex Pro is priced at $1,299. It’s clearly aimed at professionals who are willing to pay a heavy premium for portability.
If a 13.3-inch screen is too small for your daily setup, the company noted that a larger 17-inch model has finished development and should launch in June 2026. For now, the Single Flex Pro is simply an interesting look at how flexible screens might eventually replace the rigid portable monitors we’re used to carrying around.
