Curved displays are gaining traction, and Samsung apparently in a hurry to enter the curved display arena has come up with the “creatively named” Galaxy Round. The new phone is basically a Galaxy Note 3 with a curved screen. Round’s screen isn’t truly flexible except the curved shape it is stuck in, which sports a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display.
Samsung has entered the Smartwatch arena with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch. Rather than be smart all by itself, the watch works with the Galaxy range of phones and tablets, and makes them slightly more convenient for the user. It connects to the Galaxy gadget through a Bluetooth 4.0 ＋ BLE connection and keeps you informed of incoming mails, texts and messages so you don’t have to reach out for the phone or tablet when every little notification shows up.
For an advertising spot in Japan, Samsung had the Galaxy tab join forces with RT Corporation’s RIC robot. The bare-boned metallic robot had its body covered in plastic air cushions so it could give out hugs. The bot has been (appropriately?) named Hug-chan for obvious reasons. The Galaxy and RIC make an easy pair, as both, the robot and the tablet run off Android.
