The Galaxy Round is the world's first smart phone with a curved display. The phone's curved screen is a major step closer to achieving wearable devices with flexible or even unbreakable screens. With its curved screens, users can enjoy a range of exclusive experiences, such as a roll feature to check date, time, missed calls and battery life when the home screen is off. Users also have the ability to tilt the phone to control things like music, pictures and videos by pressing the screen's right or left.

The Galaxy Round's 5.7-inch (14.4-centimeter) display has a slight horizontal curve and weighs less than the Galaxy Note 3, allowing a more comfortable grip than other flat-screen models on the market. The device is a variant of the Galaxy Note 3 and runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, complete with 32GB or 64GB of internal memory under the hood. Users can run multiple applications in the same window, or run simultaneous multiple instances of the same application if they so choose. The device sports a 13-megapixel rear-facing shooter and a 2MP front-facing for video chat, as well as a 2,800 mAh battery.

Curved displays open up possibilities for bendable designs that could eventually transform the high-end smart phone market with innovative devices that redefine consumer electronics. One of the technical challenges is to figure out a way to inexpensively mass produce the parts and come up with display panels that can be thin and heat-resistant. Batteries also have to take new forms to support flexible screens that can be rolled out, attached to uneven surfaces or even stretched. The battery in the Galaxy Round is not curved.
