Ok…. Now I have seen it all with this device. Samsung took the covers off the Galaxy Round which is the world’s first smartphone with curved
display. The peculiarly designed handset will be available in Korea in October.
The biggest highlight of the Samsung Galaxy Round is its curved display which
is 5.7” inch Super Flexible AMOLED unit with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080
pixels). In my opinion this isn’t new tech… In body remember the Nexus S that
was made for Google by Samsung? Anyway the rest of the Samsung Galaxy Round is
quite similar to the note 3 and most super powered smartphones releasing these
days. There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with quad-core Krait CPU clocked
at 2.3GHz of course (Snapdragon 800 is the weapon of choice for everyone now),
3GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in memory, and microSD card slot. There’s a 13MP
camera on the back of the device, a 2MP front-facing unit, as well as full
connectivity suite on board.
The Samsung Galaxy Round boots Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with
the latest TouchWIz UI. Samsung has also added a couple of things/tricks/gimmicks
to utilize the curved screen on the device. They include Bounce UX for
controlling the device’s music player by tapping on its sides, and Gravity
Effect for interacting with the display by rolling it. Check out the video
demonstration below…
The Samsung Galaxy Round will be available in Luxury Brown
for now at approximately $1,000 US. Regrettably,
currently there are no plans for international availability (only available in South
Korea).
