Curved Smartphones

 

As Samsung and LG Electronics have released different types of curved smartphones, the industry is paying a lot of attention to competition in the curved smartphone market.

According to industry sources on Jan. 25, Samsung is expected to introduce a new model with dual curved edges as a successor to the Galaxy Note Edge. Some say that the Galaxy S6, which is scheduled to be unveiled at the MWC 2015 to be held in March, will adopt dual curved edges.

When it was launched late last year, the Galaxy Note Edge drew a lot of attention due to its first curved display. The curved display design really helped the model to stand out.

In particular, the biggest advantage of the device is that its curved edge contributes to wider use of the screen, making it possible to display information along the right edge. While watching videos or playing games, users can utilize large screens without interruption. Owing to the curved edge, they can check notifications or text messages while engaged in other activities.

LG, on the other hand, focused on the design and usage of the G Flex 2 through a display that can be bent and curved to different degrees alongside its length.

Four different types of curve rates are used in the phone so that they can help people use the phone more conveniently. The front of the display can be rolled up to a 700 mm radius, which creates a sense of full immersion. Its back has a 650 mm bending radius, to give users a good grip for their fingers.

The Android phone maker is uncertain about whether to make curved smartphones similar to the Galaxy Note Edge. LG is not sure whether it should boost the lineup of curved phones in the form of smartphones with foldable screens, either.
