Curved smartphones

[kaiuk]

This is going to be the next trend as they are apparently easier to hold. Will you get a curvy screened smartphone? I doubt i would as it won't fit well in my pocket. I need to see how thick it is first.

This is the first time I'm reading about this. Where did you get this information? Are there any pictures of prototypes for curved smartphones, would love too see that!

This is how it looks now:



And this is how it will probably look in the future:

To be honest, I don't like it. Looks ugly.
And I can't see how it will be easier to hold, just looks awkward and not practical at all. Do not approve.

It feels a lot more like a gimmick. I can't imagine it being that big of a feature request from users. Even if it does have a slight curve to it, is it really going to make that big of a difference as to how comfortable it is in your pocket? If you are wearing skin tight clothes all the time, everything is going to be uncomfortable in your pockets.

I am more interested in the durability of the screen and the phone itself, which I believe should be a bigger selling point for phones like the LG Flex, not that you can press the phone down flat on a table top. Who cares about that?

I don't know about all that. But my smart phone must have been graded on a learning curve. Its more like a dumb phone. I hate this damn thing.

What... what an ugly phone.
What is the purpose of having such a curved phone like that? If you want a phone that fits well in your pocket, well just don't get a 5'' phone then. I have a 4'' Samsung and I'm very happy with it since I believe 4'' is the perfect size for a display.

Do they seriously think that someone would even slightly like that phone? It looks horrendous! I'm sure no one will buy that kind of phone. And if there's no demand, then they will stop producing it. What an eyesore, geez. I wonder who conceptualized such an ugly looking phone.

Who cares about "ugly"? I'm more excited about the display and other features. Most people put a case on their premium phones anyway so I find it a moot point unless you're going to take it around naked.
Here's a concept design video:

That seems more like it to me. It's all rumors really, but the video gives you an overall picture -the photo is lame.

I think it would be practical on a large phone as the shape will fit better in the pocket as well as one handed operation being easier.

This could be really taken out of context just sayin
