Samsung debuts smartphone with curved display, but only for Korea |
October 09, 2013
Breaking away from the flat screens found in so many smartphones, Samsung is releasing its Galaxy Round handset with a curved display.The new Android phone will only be released in South Korea on Thursday, but is the world's first to use the curved screen technology, Samsung said Wednesday. The Galaxy Round has a slight arch in its design and is built with a 5.7-inch full HD screen.To take advantage of the phone's curved display, Samsung has included special software features for the way content is shown on the device. For instance, when tilted on its side on a table, the phone's "Roll Effect" will automatically show information like the date and time, without the need to press the power button.Users can also move through music tracks played on the phone, or access pictures and video content by simply touching or tilting either the phone's right or left side. In addition, Samsung claimed in a blog post the phone's curved frame fits comfortably in the hand.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
