Samsung Hits Market With World’s First Curved Smartphone – Galaxy Round

Samsung has unveiled the first curved smartphone in the world – Galaxy Round. The new high end smartphone will run on 2.3GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.3. It will have 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable up to 64GB via microSD. The phone, which is rounded on both sides will have Full HD Super Flexible AMOLED display, allowing it to rock back and forth while on a flat surface. “As a result of its unique curved design, users can take advantage of round integration experiences like the Roll Effect that enables user to check information such as date, time, missed call and battery easily when home screen is off, and the Gravity Effect for creating visual interaction with the screen by tilting the device,” Samsung in a statement, said. “When the Galaxy Round’s display is off while the music player is running, a short press to the left of the device will play the previous track while a short press to the right will play the next track. For pictures and videos, the Side Mirror feature enables users to gain access to list of the album content with a left and right tilt.” The phone will be released on October 10th in South Korea, by the biggest telecommunication firm there, SK Telecom, for $1,003.
