Samsung seems willing to try anything these days. Many people have criticised them for creations people think no one will ever want or use, but look at what happened to the Galaxy Note range. Everyone wrote the first Galaxy Note off as a crazy attempt at something new ““ and how wrong those people were.
Lately, the Korean company has been experimenting with different kinds of displays, most notably, the Galaxy Round. Apparently the company isn’t satisfied stopping there, though. Bloomberg claims that Samsung will release a handset featuring a wraparound display at some point next year. According to the report, the primary benefit of this three-sided display design is that it allows users to read what’s on screen even when a device is viewed at extreme angles.
It’s currently unclear whether the wraparound display will debut in a future Galaxy S / Galaxy Note smartphone, or whether Samsung will instead unveil an entirely new device line to showcase the technology. Bloomberg says the company hasn’t yet finalized a release date, but in all likelihood the product launch would come sometime during the second half of 2014.
We are expecting the three-sided display to look something like the concept depicted in the video below, at around 1:45.
