Samsung-Galaxy-Round-Bottom_Showing_Curve

The Korea Herald is reporting that the Galaxy S 5 won't sport a curved display. This really isn't anything shocking since curved displays appear to only be reserved for the Galaxy Round series, at least for now.

Let's face it, Samsung probably wouldn't have the production capacity to do it anyway. Right now they are producing 8,000 5.5 sheets per month yielding 500,000 panels. We're not sure if that “500,000” number is annually or monthly, but either way, that is nowhere nearly enough to handle the demand of the Galaxy S 5, which would be at least 40 million units.

On another note, they also reported that Apple won't adopt curved displays until 2015, so Samsung (and LG) will have a leg up.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

With the whole knox mess (unknown functions of it, rooting and warranty, no wi-fi, etc), they will be lucky if manage to sell 20 mil.

Xda is full of complaints. Maybe you should write an article about this ;-)
