To say that Samsung has some of the best innovation in the mobile technology world would be saying something that does not surprise many people at all. The company is a leader in smartphone, phablet and tablet sales all over the world and just about anything that the company releases, high end or entry level, sells like hot cakes to hungry consumers that want a piece of the Samsung pie. The latest confirmation that comes from Samsung might seemingly come out of nowhere to most people, but those that have been watching Samsung closely will know that this was bound to happen eventually.
According to a recent rumor, the Galaxy Note 3 was going to come with a flexible display and before Samsung could confirm or deny, an executive from Korea already made comments that the company was going to be releasing a curved smartphone. The new model is due to arrive next month in Korea and bound for other regions of the world by early next year. Samsung announced two different models of the Galaxy Note 3 this month, but neither of them included a flexible display. The differences between the two came down to the processor and LTE connectivity.
Samsung did not offer that many details about the new smartphone and its curved display, however the phone is coming and it’s about time since the company has been working on concepts for many years. The phone itself will not be flexible, however the curved display will provide a more sturdy display and will allow for better protection against damage. The curved displays are made with graphene and will react to drops and dings in a much better way than displays do today. While the technology world would very much appreciate something new and exciting like this, Samsung is still trying to find ways to commercialize the feature.
Having the option of a flexible display, smartphone and tablet makers will be able to come up with more complex designed devices that would easily be a part of the premium market. The devices might be neat to have and to hold, but the concepts are not going to be practical and are not likely to take sales away from other devices that Samsung sells like the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S series.
