Although the record of disappointments that we have in regards to "imminent" presentations of mobile devices with flexible screens invites prudence, the truth is that the evidence that it will finally be like this with increasing numbers: the head of marketing de Samsung would have confirmed a smartphone of these characteristics for a date as close as the month of October. Despite the fact that there is no indication yet on which device would incorporate this type of screen, all indications suggest that it will be a version of the Galaxy Note 3.
We already told you yesterday that rumors had surfaced again that a version of the Galaxy Note 3 with flexible screenwould see the light soon and, in fact, we had been receiving similar information since the summer: in August it was leaked that so much Samsung as LG yes they would launch a device with flexible displays this year, and just a couple of weeks ago he started signing up for the Galaxy Note 3 and LG Vu 3 as main candidates. At the moment the presentation of the LG Vu 3 has arrived without this desired novelty, but as regards the phablet of Samsung The rumors are louder than ever, now that the head of marketing The company has confirmed that a device with this type of screen would see the light of day next month in Corea.
Curved screen or flexible screen?
The head of marketing for Samsungactually referred to a device with curved screen, but at the end of the day, as we explained, this was expected, since it is still difficult to mass produce completely flexible devices. The screen that we would see on the smartphone, in any case, would be a flexible OLED displayOnly, the possibility of "bending" and "molding" it would not be for the end user, but for the manufacturer, so that we would receive it already "bent" and "molded". At the very least, a screen like this would have a huge advantage in terms of resistance, although it seems that we should not expect it to be completely unbreakable either. It may not be as interesting as the prototypes that we have already seen in some public demonstrations, but they are the first step in that direction.
It would also have a waterproof screen
Version Galaxy Note 3 with flexible screen could have a few special features in addition to the screen, according to rumors circulating on the network. This would be in full accordance with the leaks that were received this summer and that pointed to a low-cost version and a premium version. Among the "extras" that it is said that this version would have, there has been enough speculation again with a metal casing, but new information suggests that it could also be Waterproof, and some even claim that it could be called Galaxy Note 3 Active, as we saw with the version with this feature of the Galaxy S4. Considering that the flexible screen would offer precisely a plus of resistance, it does not seem entirely unreasonable.
A premium line of flexible display devices for 2014?
This version of the Galaxy Note 3In any case, it seems that it will not be an extraordinary case, but the precursor of a whole new range of devices that could see the light in March 2014. According to this information, the new line is currently called "F”And would have characteristics quite similar to those attributed to this version of its pioneering phablet: flexible screen, metal casing or with a very high price. Obviously, there are no details yet on the technical specifications that could be expected of these devices, except for some references to cameras of 16 MP, but it is speculated that there would be several sizes available, which would be between 4.5 and 5.5 inches, so some of them could be a phablet.
