Samsung Wrap Around Display For Premium Phones Coming Soon

Samsung is taking the smart phone war to the newer levels as it is planning a wrap around screen phone somewhere around next year. The latest news was broken by bloomberg where it reported that the Samsung's screen technology is taking new turn with the wrap around screens for its premium mobiles.

The screen of this phone wraps around the edges so users can view messages while viewing from an angle and each side of the display works independently, according to a Bloomberg report.

The South Korean manufacturer's wraparound screen smartphone would be using an upgraded version of its Youm technology, which was showcased in January this year. This display technology is also used in Galaxy Round, the company's only curved screen smartphone.

Bloomberg's report, citing two sources close to the development, said: "The display may be used in the S or Note series of premium handsets or may be the first in a new line."

However, the report was unclear about the launch date of the device. Samsung doesn't have a specific release date for the new device, but the handset is more likely to come out during the second half of next year.

Samsung has clear plans of including the bendable/foldable displays by the start of 2015 which should be the innovation that most of the techies are waiting for as showcased on the techshow earlier this year.

Other companies are also working on new display technologies to compete in the booming smartphone market. Soon after Samsung launched the world's first handset with a curved screen, LG had launched a similar smartphone, named G Flex.

Curved Glass Phone By Samsung In October

Samsung plans to introduce a smartphone with a curved glass display in October, the company announced at a media event in Seoul on Wednesday.

"We plan to introduce a smartphone with a curved display in South Korea in October," D.J. Lee, Samsung's mobile business head of strategic marketing,

said at an event launching the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone, according to a Reuters' account of the event.

No other details on the handset were revealed. It's unknown whether by "curved display" Lee is referring to a much rumored smartphone with a flexible display. Samsung, which overtook Apple as the world's most profitable smartphone maker in July, first showed off a prototype flexible AMOLED screen at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011.

Samsung's Nexus S was the first smartphone to offer a "Contour Display" that was designed to fit more comfortably in your palm. However, CNET found the contour display in the Nexus S gimmicky.

Samsung is not alone in exploring curved displays. Earlier this year it was reported that Apple was experimenting with wristwatch-like iOS devices that sport curved glass.
