Since we met the Smartphones a lot has changed. Processing, storage, image quality, there were applications to do everything and anything else, but the screens were always flat. That was the absolute truth in the world of Smartphones, there could be disputes between companies, different platforms, but the screens were flat.
Yesterday Samsung decided to end this and introduced the Galaxy Round, the first Smartphone with the curved screen. It is believed that this is the big step to finally get to be available devices with the flexible screens, which for the moment we can only see in demonstrations.
The Galaxy Round has specifications similar to those of the Galaxy Note 3, of which we highlight:
Hardware
5,7 curved AMOLED screen and 1920 × 1080 pixels resolution, processor quad-core of 2,3 GHz, RAM of 3 GB, rear camera 13 MP , battery of 2.800 mAh. As for the dimensions, the Galaxy Round has 7,9 mm thick and weighs 154 grams.
Software
Continue with the good and old Android Jelly Bean, having made some changes to take advantage of the curvature of the screen.
What are the advantages of curved screen?
From what we can confirm in the official video, there is still not much to explore on this curved screen. Poe while Samsung demonstrated the “Roll Effect“, A feature that allows you to quickly see information such as battery level, hours, missed calls, just by tilting the Galaxy Round on a flat surface, even if it is blocked. For a better understanding, watch the video:
For now the Smartphone will only be available for the children of the house, ie the South Koreans. As for the price, approximately 1100 USD. Is it worth it?
