Samsung will launch curved smartphone in Q4 2013
 

In the midst of Samsung's global launch for its Note 3, the company is already thinking about its next big reveal. This time around, it'll involved a curved display. The unnamed device could appear in Korea next month, according to Reuters, although Yonhap News (through the wonders of Google Translate) was told to expect an event some time in Q4. In either case, it's soon. The last time we heard about Samsung's handheld flexible displays was back in CES in January, where a 5-5-inch prototype device was on show, named 'Youm'. The prototype's screen stretched to the outer edges of the device and was able to display notifications, although the handheld itself wasn't flexible. According to Park Sang-jin, CEO of Samsung SDI, the new device will use a similar OLED panel and will be curve-shaped ("not completely flexible"), which will "differentiate" the device from Samsung's existing smartphone family. We suspect it may arrive with that new camera sensor too.
