Samsung Creates Phone With Curved Display

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday October 9, 2013 @07:54AM from the now-there's-a-right-way-and-a-wrong-way-to-pocket-your-phone dept.

iONiUM writes "Samsung today unveiled the Galaxy Round phone with a curved 5.7" display. It comes with a hefty $1,000 USD price tag. This is a follow-up to the 55" curved TVs it began selling in June, and is most likely an intermediate form in the development of fold-able phones. Considering the recent LG announcement of mass OLED flexible screen production, it seems we are getting close to flexible phones. One question I wonder: will Apple follow suit? So far there has been no indication they are even attempting flexible/bendable screens."

Mostly just iPhone users. But of course, that's because they've been holding it wrong.

Once they are big enough you can just tuck the phone under one of them...
Won't putting it under your boob prevent the signal from getting through?
Fat does not interfere with cellular frequencies... if it did there would be zero cell reception in places like board rooms, banks, and most importantly... Congress...
