Samsung Galaxy Round may with Curved Display

Samsung has already confirmed that it plans to launch a curved display smartphone this month — which could be the first of its kind, if it beats LG to the punch. Now, reports from Korea suggest that the smartphone will be called the Galaxy Round, a rather fitting title given its purported curved touch screen.

Little else is known about the handset, but the report suggests the Galaxy Round will sport specs similar to that of the Galaxy Note 3. This loosely aligns with a rumor from last week that suggested Samsung’s curved display device would be a limited edition version of Samsung’s newest phablet.  If the rumors hold up, Samsung’s Galaxy Round would be the first commercially available smartphone to utilize plastic instead of glass substrate in its display. This means that the panel would be more durable and cheaper to produce than the screen found on your typical smartphone
