Into Flexible displays? Maybe it’s just the first step in a revolution that will change the shape (and substance) of our smartphone . Or maybe it’s one of the many amazing innovations designed to end up miserably into oblivion. When in doubt, Samsung wants to have his say and want to do first of all with a device that will talk much about himself. This is the new Round Galaxy , a smartphone that looks like a Galaxy Note 3 slightly folded back on itself.

Into In fact – it should be clearly stated – you can not talk about real flexible display, since we are still in front of a phone with a screen drive , which can not be bent in any way that is . The difference compared to the past is the profile of the panel, which was slightly curved inwards.

Into That way, says Samsung in an official statement, the Galaxy Round enables a whole series of interactions very specific: for example, you can awaken the screen by tilting the device, check status information (date, time, missed calls, battery) in stand-by mode, the buttons control the music player rather than accessing the contents of the multimedia gallery.

Into Excluding these control features, the Galaxy Round can be considered a smartphone with characteristics very similar to those of the various high-end Galaxy devices. With a budget that includes – among the various resources – display Super AMOLED 5.7 inch (1080p), a quad-core 2.3 GHz processor, 3 GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera and a battery 2800mAh. The operating system is Android in his penultimate version (4.3).

Into The new Samsung Galaxy Round will be launched initially in the Korean market in various colors, nothing is known at the time of a possible marketing outside of the confines of the home.
