Samsung Electronics, the world's
best-selling smartphone maker, has launched a handset with a curved display
screen. Called the Galaxy Round, the smartphone will feature a
5.7in (14.5cm) display. The launch comes just days after rival LG said it would
begin production of curved-screen phones next year.
Digital display technology has been progressing towards
curved screens. Both Samsung and LG already offer curved organic light-emitting
diode (OLED) television sets. Samsung said the curved screen display would help
consumers use some of the features on the phone, including those that enable
users to check information such as date, time and missed calls when home screen
is off, with more ease.
At
the same time, users can also change music tracks on their phone, even while
its display is off.
The Galaxy Round will initially be launched only in South
Korea. The firm gave no indication of its plans for a global launch.
