The name of the first-ever flexible
screen-toting smartphone might just have leaked online, ahead of its debut
later this month.
According to sources cited by South Korean
site Asiae, Samsung will opt for the name 'Galaxy Round', which we’re guessing
alludes to the curved effect of the display.
The report,
which puts the phone's asking price at $900, also claims that it's spec sheet
will closely resemble the Galaxy Note 3 and that it will be made in very
limited quantities.
This chimes
with earlier leaks that claimed this was down to low production yields for the
screen tech, as well as Samsung's wariness of overcommitting to technology that
has yet to be properly tested with the public.
JK Shin,
co-CEO at Samsung Electronics, is reputed to have told Korean press sorts to
expect the tech giant’s first flexible smartphone this week.
The company,
which was joined by LG in making a firm announcement about flexi-screen tech
earlier today, has been touting bendy phones as concept devices at trade shows
for years.
