New Delhi: Samsung is expected to unveil a variant of the upcoming Galaxy S6 smartphone with a three-sided 'spill' display - one that will use the front as well as both the right and left sides of the phone - at its Galaxy Unpacked event on March 1, says a Bloomberg report.
Samsung's earlier take at the side display was seen in its Galaxy Note Edge smartphone that featured a main display curving around the right edge of the phone to create a side display for notifications and one-tap access to apps, headlines and tasks. The South Korean electronics giant has since then being speculated to introduce a curved display in its next-gen Galaxy S smartphone.
With the Note Edge, Samsung tried to offer a practical use of curvature, making the sides more functional for certain apps like flashlight and stopwatch, akin to what Apple offers in the iPhone's Control Center with a swipe up from the bottom.
According to sources, Samsung is likely to unveil two versions of its next-gen Galaxy S smartphone - both with metal bodies.
The upcoming Galaxy S6 is expected to come with a 5.1-inch screen, fingerprint sensor, 4GB of RAM, and a 20-megapixel camera. The Galaxy S6 is likely to be be launched in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage variants.
A recent Bloomberg report, citing unidentified sources, has already said that Samsung will not use Qualcomm's processors for the next version of the flagship Galaxy S smartphone as the new Snapdragon 810 chip found to be overheating during Samsung's testing.
