Samsung announces the Galaxy Round, its first smartphone with a curved screen [Video]

Samsung teased plans to launch a smartphone with a curved screen with a press statement last month, and today the Korean company unveiled the device: it’s called the Galaxy Round, as many had predicted.
The phone sports a 5.7-inch 1080p screen — which is the same size as the recently launched Galaxy Note 3 — but the panel is curved horizontally in a similar way to a TV set. The device runs Android 4.3, is 7.9mm thick and weighs 154g, and packs a 13-megapixel rear camera and 2.3 GHz quad-core processor.
Its similarities to the Galaxy Note 3 extend to the back cover, which features a leather-and-stitch style.
