Galaxy S5 will not be curved panel

Samsung's "GalaxyRound" music machine has attracted a lot of media attention, but South Korean analysts believe that due to lack of capacity, Samsung's next-generation flagship GalaxyS5 and Apple iPhone6 ​​are unlikely to use curved panels.

IBTimes and ANI reported that KimJong-hyun, an analyst with Eugene Investment & Securities, said that the production capacity of current curved panels is still insufficient to meet the demand of Galaxy S5; S5 will be listed at the beginning of next year (2014). He believes that Samsung will still release new music smart phones at the end of next year, but it will not be used as a flagship model.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy Round music machine this year, and LG is closely following it, offering GFlex to compete. It was originally expected that Samsung will use new technology in a new generation of flagship machines, but the situation seems to have changed. According to sources, Samsung now produces 500,000 smart phone panels each month, and it is expected to increase to 1 million by the end of 2014.

JohnSeo, an analyst at Shinhan Investment, said that in 2014, Apple will still have difficulty using flexible screens, and 2015 is more likely. Samsung and LG are the only manufacturers of energy-produced smart phone panels, and it may not be possible for Apple and other vendors to use this technology until Korean manufacturers can meet their own needs.

Intomobile reported at the end of November that MobileWorldLive and Business Korea reported that since the Galaxy Round opened its sales in South Korea in October, it has sold less than 10,000 units. After the first 50,000 units are sold, it will no longer be produced. Samsung's rush to sell Galaxy Round is not to create new products and the best-selling Galaxy Note III to fight Taiwan, but to win the world's first song-type smart machine manufacturer's name.
