New Delhi: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd on Wednesday launched a variant of the popular Galaxy Note Smartphone with a curved display, moving a step closer to introducing wearable devices with flexible screens. The Galaxy Round’s 5.7-inch (14.4-centimetre) display has a slight horizontal curve and weighs less than the Galaxy Note 3, allowing a more comfortable grip than other flat-screen models on the market, mobile carrier SK Telecom Co Ltd (017670.KS) said in a statement. Curved displays open up possibilities for bendable designs that could eventually transform the high-end Smartphone market by allowing mobile and wearable gadgets to take new forms. LG Electronics Inc plans to introduce a Smartphone with a vertically curved display in November, a source familiar with the matter said this week. Samsung’s new phone, available through South Korea’s biggest mobile carrier SK Telecom, costs 1.089 million won.
