As expected, Samsung has officially announced the world’s first smartphone with a curved display. Dubbed as Galaxy Round, the phone looks like a curved version of the Galaxy Note 3 (sans the S Pen support) with a leather like back and curved 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED. While we’re still waiting for the full specs, the LTE-A at the back suggests Snapdragon 800 processor inside the device and takes advantages of the curved form factor with the Roll Effect. Instead of the Air Glance where a user would wave his hand in front of the sensor, a user can now tilt the device to check the information, a short press on the left or right to change the music or quickly access to albums with a left or right tilt.
There’s no word on the price but it will be released on SK Telecom in Brown colour soon.
UPDATE: Samsung has shed some more details on the device. The Galaxy Round’s display curvature is 400mm. It is priced at 1.08 million won.
QuadCore 2.3Ghz o 2.6Ghz ??? Info Web site of SK Telekom
Can you share the link? It has to be 2.3GHz because that’s the highest clock frequency Snapdragon 800 supports.
