With CES soon approaching, the craze and move for manufactures to migrate and incorporate curved displays is going to be a big thing this year. As i research this topic, you already know about the LG Flex and the Samsung Curve phones which have the curved display featured into the phone. What are the benefits of this... probably little to none except a better feel in your pocket. With all my phones from now on placed securely into an Otterbox holster, i could really care less about this feature everyone is rushing to manufacture.
However with anything in design, without the first the never is a revision or reinvention.
A lot of people, including myself blog about what they want the next generation phones, and now watches, to have a curved display and this is probably a feature that is in everyone minds but we are just not there.
The Samsung Galaxy watch is cool.. but if it had a curved display that wrapped round your wrist?!?!?! Now that is what we want.... The G Flex is neat, but folding my phone like a wallet and doubling the size into a tablet... Game Over! These are the thing I would love to see into these phones and I know Google will get there before Apple will so I'm optimistic.
We are also expecting the curved TVs to be debuted at the CES show in Las Vegas in January. Having a curved TV is the next big selling point to make consumers spend more money after 3D tv really took off... this is a joke, it didnt really take off.... and to replace the 720s or the 1080p TV in your living room. The only reason I would get a curved display is for online gaming for Call of duty or if I cared about playing Madden 25 as much as i used to, other than that I am sticking with the old reliable flat screen plasma on my wall....
So curved displayed phones right now is a new direction and a nice feature but this isnt going to be a major selling point until the display is flexible, can offer more shatter resistance, or has additional functionality integrated into the curve display. And ike they say, " A journey of a thousand steps begins with one", and the Samsung Curve and the LG Flex is the first step, and you know journeys dont get interesting until you hit at least half way!
