Curved Smartphone Screens - Why?

[exe ex machina]

Yeah thats exactly one main flaw with samsung. Lag in things

There TV's a great but their EPG sucks balls and has so for years, it's so slow to scroll through the channels

I have a small HD Samsung TV in my room, and I agree the EPG is horrible and laggy. In fact I always assumed it was because of my poor antenna cabling within my bedroom wall (the wire barely carries a signal and I usually can't access SBS or any of its channels).

Nope, it's a samsung thing, so annoying that I bought a different brand for my main tv because the samsungs I have in my business annoy the hell out of me. It's been the same for years and they have done nothing, surely it can't be too hard to fix, panasonic and sony are streets ahead in EPG

There used to be a 60s cartoon where they could do that

Make their manufacturers a lot of profit. Other than that, not sure. It's like 3D TV, a selling point to encourage people buy something they don't need.

So here's how Samsung are planning on implementing it....

Once the manufacturing process matures and the prices come down it could be quite a useful feature

You need to for work but socially you have a point.

Umm curved screens... why?

Because your arse isnt flat and neither is the front pocket of your jeans.

Then there is also the curve of your chin

Which way would you put a curved phone in your front pocket? Sideways? It'd stand out like dogs balls if you have it vertically

People... ?

People... ?

I thought most people were just in perpetual contact through texting/messaging.

Would the curve make much of a difference given the ever-decreasing width of phones? I suppose if you carry around one of those body-board-sized phones it might.

I've noticed that all the mobiles are increasing in size again after years of trying to make the smallest useable phones. I am slowly getting rid of my smart phones and I'm just using phones that send texts and make calls. I don't need the Internet on my phone... I have iPads and laptops for that!
