Just after Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3, at the event Samsung
executives said that the company plans to “introduce a curved display
smartphone in October,” but declined to give any
further details —
including price, exact release date, or even what operating system it
would be using. Samsung has technically released curved-screen phones
before — the Nexus S had a gentle curve on it, but in that case it was
the glass, not the screen itself that was curved.
Curved displays are an early stage in screen evolution which is
shifting to bendable or foldable designs, eventually allowing mobile and
wearable gadgets to take on new forms that could radically change the
high-end smartphone market.
“We plan to introduce a smartphone with a curved display in South
Korea in October,” Samsung’s mobile business head of strategic marketing
DJ Lee said on Wednesday at an event launching the Galaxy Note 3
smartphone in Seoul.
In January Samsung, which has taken over from Apple as the global
smartphone leader, showed off prototype products with a flexible screen
and a display that extends from the side of a device.
We just have to fold our arms and wait for what I call greatness.
