The tree of the Samsung Galaxy S3After a huge promotional campaign for the South Korean company's device, its flagship is starting to lose steam. We have no doubt that the numbers will be unmatched, and that we'll continue to talk about it a lot, but what's popular are the new ones. devices, and even more so if this is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Just when it seemed that the Koreans had put everything into their iPhone-killer, we realize that they might still have something up their sleeve, a flexible screen for Galaxy Note 2.
The truth, when analyzed properly, is logical and even useful. There are many, indeed, who are against cell phones. big screens because of the inconvenience of carrying them. And if we continue like this, in the future we'll have to make pockets adapted to each mobile phone model. flexible screen it would end this problem. In fact, they would cease to exist. Now it would be the device that would adapt to the pocket, since it could be deformed into the necessary position.
The new information suggests that this flexible screen would be 5,3 inches and would use LED technology, so if confirmed, it would be just as large as its predecessor, and not 5,5 inches, as we saw previously. Beyond the size, the relevant thing would be the use of materials and panel technology able to withstand bending without compromising shine or color.
For its part, we continue with the same data about its interior, which would be controlled by a quad core processor, as it could not be otherwise. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 would be completed with a 12 megapixel camera, thus improving the megapixels of the Galaxy S3. Finally, it is worth noting that it would come with the next version of Android, Jelly Bean, thus including all the new features. The important thing is that this new phone is expected to arrive very soon. Do you think we'll receive such a significant advance in this generation?

To achieve this, Samsung has prioritized AMOLED & panels Flexible OLED compared to conventional LCDs, a strategy in line with the industry trend. Even other manufacturers such as LG have followed similar paths by reducing investment in LCD.
In addition to curvature, a flexible panel would provide better resistance to impacts, limits of more frames thin and potential for new form factorsThe challenge lies in complementing this flexibility with substrates, batteries, and connectors that can withstand twisting without degradation.
Although the leaks talked about technology LED flexible, the most realistic path for the Galaxy ecosystem has been OLED due to its self-emissive nature, fewer layers, and ability to bend with fewer compromises in color and contrast.
Design, size and user experience
With its large format, the Note II is positioned between smartphone y tablets, what we understand today as phablet. Its 16:9 aspect ratio and Super AMOLED panel make it very competent for video, navigation and multitask in a floating window, taking advantage of the hardware and the exclusive functions of the S Pen.
