Like the Note 3, it has a 5.7" Super AMOLED display, only here it's using new flexible display technology. The phone itself, of course, isn't flexible, but the flexible display opens the door to its (fixed) curved state.</p> <div style="width: 529px; height: 337px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20131009203235/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-round-curved-display/29341/pictures#2" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/galaxy-round-1.jpg" width="529" alt="When lying flat on a table, you can tilt the Round towards you in order to see your notifi..."/></a></div> <p>Samsung threw in a few software features that take advantage of the phablet's ability to tilt. When the phone is lying flat on a table with music playing, for example, you can tilt the device left to go back a track, and right to advance. There's also a feature Samsung calls the Roll Effect, which lets you check notifications when the screen is off by rolling the device slightly in your direction.</p> <p>Otherwise the Round appears to carry over most of the features from the Galaxy Note 3, including its faux leather back, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, and 1080p display. It's a bit lighter than its non-curved counterpart, at 154 g (the new Note is 168 g).</p> <div style="width: 529px; height: 337px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20131009203235/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-round-curved-display/29341/pictures#4" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/galaxy-round-3.jpg" width="529" alt="The Round also borrows the Note 3's faux leather backing"/></a></div> <p>It isn't clear yet whether customers are looking for a phone like this, but Samsung's marketing machine has a way of pitching new phones and features in ways that make them seem desirable. And, for what it's worth, the Round is using an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235/http://www.gizmag.com/galaxy-note-3-review/29262/" target="_blank">excellent mobile device</a> as its blueprint. It also isn't yet known what kind of global rollout the Round will get. As of now, it's only set to launch in South Korea for 1.09 million won (which converts to US$1,015).</p> <p>You can hit up the embedded video below, for a sneak peek of the Galaxy Round's Roll Effect, demoed by a Samsung employee.</p> <p>Sources: Samsung <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235/http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=28863" target="_blank">[1]</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235/http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=28865" target="_blank">[2]</a> via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235/http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-makes-galaxy-round-official-57-inch-curved-display-and-all" target="_blank">Android Central</a></p>  <div class="article_video"><br/><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="500" height="300" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235if_/http://www.youtube.com/embed/UIEExKSjWi4" frameborder="0"> </iframe><br/> </div>   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235js_/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-round-curved-display/29341/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-round-curved-display/29341/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Fsamsung-galaxy-round-curved-display%2F29341%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009203235oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-round-curved-display/29341/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/galaxy-round.jpg" data-description="Apparently some big companies have decided that curved displays are the next big thing.

Typical Samsung thinking; "Oh lets throw this new technology in here and f*** it if it doesn't work correctly or there's no real benefit for the user". </p> <p></p> <p>Curved displays have been built before with real consideration on if you have a curved screen, can you provide a better atmosphere. This is samsung doing it for the sake of doing it. No wonder the build qualities of their phones have been plastic lumps built on the cheap if they can't figure out how to use the technology. </p> <span class="name">Mark Penver</span><br> <span class="date"> 9th October, 2013 @ 04:57 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-261745" class="a_comment"> <p>Personally, I see this as a gimmick, but, the introduction to flexible screens I guess has to start with baby steps first. I just hope it matures enough, so say in a year, I could get a smartphone, that has a 5-6" screen, but, when opened, a seamless 10-12" tablet.
