Samsung Galaxy Note 4 tipped to sport three-sided Youm flexible display


Samsung's Galaxy Round smartphone created a lot of buzz with its curved display, but its limited availability barred it from becoming a disruptive phone in the global market.
However, it seems Samsung might launch its next Galaxy Note phablet with company's Youm flexible OLED display technology this year, if a new report is to be believed.

ZDNet Korea in a report citing industry insiders claim that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be the company's first smartphone to feature a three-sided Youm display. The report further suggests that the three-sided display will be utilised to show notifications for mails, messages and calls on the bent side of the device without unlocking the device.

Notably, the South Korean handset maker showcased the Youm flexible OLED display technology at CES last year. Samsung also showcased a curved prototype featuring a wrap-around screen that took the display around the edges of the device.

In addition, Yoon Han-kil, Senior Vice President of Samsung's product strategy team, in an interview told Reuters that Samsung plans to launch the next Galaxy Note in a new form factor in the second half of 2014.

Han-kil said, "Our ultimate goal is to make products that consumers really aspire to have. This is how we are trying to find a breakthrough in the stagnant premium market".

Samsung, at its second analyst meeting in November last year, had spilled the beans about its upcoming devices with newer technologies, saying that devices with folding displays (pictured above), such as foldable phones could be expected in 2015.

It's worth pointing out that Samsung usually launches its Galaxy Note phablets in the second half of the year. Last year, the company launched the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with 5.7-inch full-HD display and Android 4.3.
