Samsung said to launch a device with wraparound screen next year

According to a report released by Bloomberg, Samsung has plans to release a smartphone with wraparound display at some point next year. The new screen tech will allow users to look up messages or stocks from an angle.

The upcoming device is said to use updated version of proprietary Samsung technology called Youm. It was showcased during CES this year, and is currently featured in the Samsung Galaxy Round.

Speculation points that the new three-sided display can be seen in ether a Galaxy S, or a Galaxy Note device. An altogether new model family is also not out of question.

Curiously, the report about the yet to be released Samsung smartphone comes hot on the heels of similar news about Apple. A few days ago, word got out that Apple itself is working on two large-screen iPhone models with curved display.
