The author proves that in hyperbolic and spherical 3-spaces there are compact non-convex polyhedral surfaces homeomorphic to the sphere that can be non-trivially continuously deformed in such a way that all the dihedral angles are preserved. Here a non-trivial deformation means that it changes the surface area, the total mean curvature, and the Gaussian curvature of some vertex.
