at all the gimmicks other companies are having to resort to because Apple's phone game is so impeccable....
It appears we will be seeing something new from Samsung (NASDAQ:SSNLF) by way of display technology within the next month.

In the wake of rumors about a Limited Edition Samsung Galaxy Note 3 featuring a flexible display, Samsung's mobile business head of strategic marketing, D.J. Lee, has confirmed that the South Korean manufacturer plans to release a smartphone with a curved display. Speaking with Reuters, Lee said the curved display smartphone will launch in South Korea in October. With few further details on the matter, fans and pundits alike have been left to speculate about what this phone will be like.
Many imagine a device capable of folding in on itself and able to take different shapes according to the user’s preference. But the South Korean news agency Yonhap News spoke with Park Sang-jin, president of Samsung SDI, which produces batteries for Samsung, who insists the curved-display devices will not be malleable.
"As plastic liquid crystal displays are strong enough to neither shatter even when dropped on the ground nor need frames, it is possible to produce devices with unique designs," Park said.
It appears the curved displays may be based on common LCD displays, which may be improved to make them shatterproof, resulting in more durable Samsung products; previous reports have indicated that Samsung was working with OLEDs to develop its flexible displays. Many popular Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S4 are heavily criticized for their inability to withstand drops and falls. This has potential to be a well-received improvement in place of fully flexible displays. However, many earlier reports indicate that the function of flexible displays may have never been to usher in flexible devices, but rather to allow for much thinner and lighter, unbreakable devices, with more room for larger batteries and other updated components.
Samsung notably unveiled its Samsung Yuom flexible display technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Devices featuring flexible displays were intended to go on the market in April, but setbacks delayed the release until at least November, recent reports have indicated. There is no word on whether these previously reported flexible display products and the curved display smartphone now being reported are one in the same.
Developing methods of mass producing such flexible components cheaply appears to still be a challenge for Samsung, according to Reuters. This could account for why the manufacturer has not yet introduced flexible displays to the mass market. An exclusive South Korea release could be Samsung’s way of testing its new curved display smartphone with consumers before releasing to international markets while it works to unleash the full potential of flexible displays.
that's your opinion tbh, I don't like apple's phone. for me they suck
thats what i think about every gimmick Samsung has put into their phones.
"Ooooh bump your phones to share pictures!" .......yeah or i could just push"send" and do it without touching .
"Wave your hand to answer a call!" for the asshole that's too stupid to see it takes the same amount of effort to move your finger to touch the screen.
wow...you are really short sighted
the point is that when you see a buddy and bump fists...now you can transfer pictures or music to him...don't need to even think about it...just..."hey man...what's up" (fist bump with phone)..."nada...just a squirrel..." now you've just shared music and photos
driving in a car..."ring ring"... , I don't want to have to reach down and look at my phone...SWIPE..."hey man...what's up"..."hey, I like the pictures you bumped me yesterday"
Is Samsung the company whose new phone stops playing Youtube videos if you're not looking at it? Holy that would be annoying.
apple just released the same damn phone with only one addition and that's to capture your finger prints.at all the apple sheep who buy their product because they want to be trendy.
if it was truly innovative it would be gold tbh
im still pissed with samsung and there new bend LCD t vs....whatta load of gimmick like 3d...
You had your phone in your back pocket.
Supposing you were about to be mounted again by your TomDoll. During a Pats touchdown celebration or whatever other reasons you and Tom hook up.
Instead of being crushed, the phone would flex bend as you were being mounted.
That's practical.
As to the hand wave answering, for those who work at a busy desk it can come in real handy for some.
at all the gots who wear white pants because they want to be trendy....
this is rich coming from the white pants wearing namedropper who brags about his friend's ty job handing out nightclub fliers and hugging c-level nba players by the waist.
Also, Samsung fanboys need to pick a lane. You can't mock Apple's popularity while also bragging about Android being the #1 mobile OS.
samsung
"all these isheep waiting in line for a phone. They're so lame and stupid"
One Year Later:
"we need to do research to get people to wait in lines for our phones too"
Instead they could develop a phone with a tb of internal storage, or something else which would be useful.
all the iphone/samsung fanboy . Almost any phone now is great. Lol.at apple heads thinking it still 2007 and that they are miles ahead of every phone.
lol @ defending multi-billion dollar corporations like they know who you are
if only they could make one that folds in half, to protect the screen when not in use and to make it smaller and easier to fit in pockets...
reading, it's fundamental.
While I agree with this, the same can be said about sports fans.
The next random person who sees me with my iPhone and decides to say some like "hey bro, you need the galaxy so you can be on my level" is getting punched in the ing mouth and left with a broken phone. happened to me at work today. Some random steroid junkie mother er came up to me while I was texting and said that like nothing. s wrong with you dumbass nut riders.
