Samsung Unveils Plans to Launch 3-Sided
Smartphone
Despite the growing dominance of the Xiaomi, Samsung continues to maintain a healthy lead
in the Smartphone world. Xiaomi fever may be upon us, but their chief rival Samsung is not
standing idle. According to a report on CNET, Samsung is preparing to release its three-sided
smartphone in the second half of next year.
If the LG’s decision to put volume control buttons on the back of its Smartphone was a little
baffling to you, then Samsung’s 3-sided Smartphone may just blow your mind. This upcoming
3-sided Smartphone screen will utilize a plastic substrate that is limited in quantity. And if
released by the end of this year, it will most likely be finite to Korean audiences. Unlike other
smartphones with curved screens such as LG G Flex, the patented prototype has a convex
shaped display screen.
A three-sided display phone just might be what Kim Hyeon Jun, executive manager at
Samsung's Wireless Business Division, had been foreshadowing during Samsung's second-
quarter earnings conference call. "While I cannot mention specifics, we are planning on
unveiling an innovative large-screen flagship model, an attractive phone that takes advantage
of cutting-edge materials," he said.
Its extra display screen space will be used to display the charging meter, bookmarks, and other
important information. Most importantly, the extra space on the edges will be touch sensitive,
letting users access multi-touch quick actions and resizing/reimagining the slide-to-unlock
gesture as side-mounted. So far Apple, the technology giant, is the only Smartphone maker
that’s using 64-bit chips, but Samsung is set on joining the party.
‘Kyushik Hong, vp of marketing for Samsung's LSI business told CNET that Samsung is "very
actively working" on 64-bit right now.’ The European version of the Note 4 will feature
Samsung's new Exynos 5433 chip, while the North American, Korean, Chinese and Japanese
market will get a Snapdragon 805 processor.
Rumors say the new three-sided Smartphone will show its multiple faces either by the end of
this year or in the second half of the next year.
