Samsung basically invented the super-sized phone with its Galaxy S series of elite handsets. But now that the five-inchish display has become old hat (http://www.techhive.com/article/2048497/lg-g2-review-an-android-phone-like-any-other.html), the Korean manufacturer has begun to experiment with wholly new display form factors.
Fresh off a limited release Galaxy Round (http://www.techhive.com/article/2053272/nice-curves-samsung-introduces-the-galaxy-round-a-phone-with-a-curved-screen.html) (which for the record is curved, not round), Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-14/samsung-said-to-plan-galaxy-smartphone-with-wraparound-display.html) is reporting that Samsung is planning to release a Galaxy-branded three-sided phone next year.
According to the unnamed sources, the three-sided display would wrap around the edges of the phone, so that messages could be read from an angle. The new multi-angle display would likely be first available in the Galaxy S or Note series.
The new form factor utilizes a flexible OLED screen technology known as YOUM, the same used in the Galaxy Round. YOUM has also been demonstrated to be bendable and flexible—though its Round debut was in a static (if curved) form factor.
