The flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 is still the smaller, lighter handset,
measuring 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm and weighing 130g. Note how the Round
matches the tiny waistline of the S4.Finally, the Galaxy Round is
initially available in what samsung galaxy cases has dubbed 'luxury brown', while the Note 3 comes in black, white and pink hues.
What
the heck does that mean? I'll tell you. It means that instead of the
slight vertical bend seen in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus andSamsung Nexus
S, this smartphone features a horizontal curve much like a half
smile.It's different and will arrive in Korea first, in brown, with
flashier colors (and in perhaps more markets) coming later down the
line.
Samsung has been working on its curved display for some
time, showing off Youm (as said curved display is called) at CES this
year, and various other iterations in the years before.The rumors were
spot on. On Tuesday, Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy Round, which
it's proclaiming as the world's first (deeply) curved display
smartphone.
Several reports over the past few weeks have made it
clear that Samsung and LG are in fierce competition to release a
smartphone with a curved display before any other manufacturers. Samsung
was already set to reveal its offering this month, but once
again @evleaks is one step ahead with a purported leaked press photos of
Samsung’s curved display Galaxy smartphone, rumored to be called the
Galaxy Round.Evleaks provides no additional details on the device
other than the pictures, which show a smartphone that looks strikingly
similar to Samsung’s Galaxy line of handsets.
We should know a lot more
once Samsung officially announces the phone later this month.Samsung
reportedly prepping a 12-inch tablet experience that boots both Windows
RT and Android.On the features side of things, the Galaxy Round
hangs out with the high-end crowd. It has a 5.7-inch, 1080p HD display;
runs Android 4.3 (with Samsung's Touch Wiz interface, of course); and
has Samsung's big-phone staples such as Multi Window (think
split-screen) and one-handed operation modes, just like the samsung galaxy s cases does.
With
dimensions similar to the Note 3's, the Round is slim at only 0.3 inch
thick and weighing 5.4 ounces. It should feel substantial for its size,
without weighing you down.Samsung includes two very new features, one
called "roll effect," which we know little about, except that if you
rock the phone on its axis, it'll trigger a glance screen with the date,
time, missed call, and battery information. This works even when the
home screen is in sleep mode.
The closest Samsung's gotten to this
before? A ticker in the Samsung Galaxy Continuum, which displayed a
running digital display below the main screen. This movement instead is a
dramatically different gesture that basically kicks the lock screen
awake long enough to give you some basic stats without unlocking the
phone.ljd3sSs3c
Another new Samsung feature, the "gravity effect,"
promises to expand the role of gestures by adding rocking the device
with a finger to see a music-focused interface that highlights your
tunes.As do the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, the Galaxy Round
has a 13-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, plus a 2-megapixel
camera up front. Also look for 1080p HD video capture, which is standard
on higher-end Samsung smartphones.
The flagship Samsung Galaxy S4
is still the smaller, lighter handset, measuring 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm
and weighing 130g. Note how the Round matches the tiny waistline of the
S4.Finally, the Galaxy Round is initially available in what Samsung has
dubbed 'luxury brown', while the Note 3 comes in black, white and pink
hues.As previously mentioned, the Samsung Galaxy Round catches the eye
with a curved 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080p (1920 x 1080
pixel) resolution.
Far from being a new super-phone, the Samsung Galaxy i9500 S4
Round is essentially a curved-screen version of the Galaxy Note 3. Bar
LTA-A and 14g of weight loss, the two tablet-phones are almost
identical, differentiated by the Round's flexible screen and the tilt
functionality that it enables.
