I'm sure you've heard of the Samsung Round or L launched at the beginning of the last quarter of this year, in which Samsung and LG showed the world that they already make mobile phones with flexible screens. But what you don't know is that long before that, in May this year, Samsung registered a patent but it was only revealed this month. The company plans to create another smartphone with curved screen on the sides of the device. See below how Samsung is thinking about using the device:
Unlock may be on the side of the screen:
The email attachments may appear on the side of the screen.
The display on the side can be used to display battery status
You can drag contents / images from the smartphone's central display to a clipboard on the side of the display
The contacts in your calendar go to the main screen and the initials of the names to the side
See the bookmarks or chapters of a book or magazine
The sidebar may act as an index. In the photo gallery can be an index of the dates of the photos taken.
The side area can serve as a multitouch area where it will be possible, for example, to unlock your smartphone by putting your fingers on some particular areas of the screen
