    Rumours: Samsung testing wrap-around YOUM display smartphone?

    For quite some time now, Samsung has been rumoured to be making a smartphone with a wrap-around display. This comes from it's flexible YOUM display and patents of such a wrap-around device which technically would make it an edge-to-edge smartphone with no bezels. According to reports from Korea, Samsung has begun testing such a device thanks to news from component suppliers. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has been rumoured to be this smartphone, however, do take such a rumour with a good pinch of salt as it seems like too much of a big change for the phablet. Instead it would be more likely to be the Samsung Galaxy Round 2 based off of the previous curved screen device, the Samsung Galaxy Round. The timing does coincide with previously leaked roadmaps for flexible displays though so we're still hopeful somewhat. In the meantime, check out the previous wrap-around patent images on how the next flexible display smartphone from Samsung could look like.

    Samsung flexible wraparond display smartphone coming to Malaysia in 2014?

    Samsung and LG both recently came out with curved display smartphones in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex. While both show off what each company can do with flexible display technology, both don't really show off what a flexible display smartphone can do. Samsung looks to be changing that as they are applying for a US patent for a flexible wraparound display smartphone much like the one earlier seen at CES 2013 when Samsung showed off their Youm display devices. The patent application mentions that it is about a "Method and apparatus for operating functions of portable terminal having bended display" and indicates that this could be one of the first of Samsung's bended display smartphones, which were earlier spotted in a roadmap slide.
