Despite how others may believe or want to believe that Samsung‘s next flagship, the Galaxy S5,
will be sporting a curved display, the reality of the situation is that
it could be highly unlikely. The reason isn’t probably from a want in
desire on part of the Korean manufacturer but because of production
capabilities.
Ever since Samsung outed the Galaxy Round,
there has been a spike in interest, not to mention speculations and
theories, in curved and flexible displays. It seems only reasonable to
expect that Samsung upcoming top-tier smartphone will sport this
so-called innovation, but such might not be the case. This is mostly
because Samsung is currently not yet capable of producing large volumes
of such curved screens. A flagship device, however, will
definitely need more than that. In fact, Samsung recently boasted how its current flagship, the Galaxy S 4,
already reached the 10 million sales milestone. Samsung will be
investing on a new line that will increase output to 1 million panels
per month, but that is unlikely to happen in time for the Galaxy S5. Analysts believe that Samsung will instead out a curved variant of
the flagship in lower volumes.
