Samsung's Galaxy Round softens the look Galaxy Round. Picture: EV Leaks/ Samsung HAPPY with your smartphone? It's awesome speed, variety of apps, and usefulness? Great, but how does it look when you're not using it, when it's in your pocket? Samsung is working on a model that will soften the jagged edges that flat smartphones create in their owners' pockets. The company just announced the Galaxy Round - "the world's first curved display smartphone." The announcement comes just hours after pictures of the phone leaked on Tech Crunch earlier today, reports news.com.au. According to the company the curved design allows users to access features of the phone even when the screen is turned off.

It also uses something called "the Gravity Effect" allowing users to interact with the screen by tilting the device. More at news.com.au
