Hours after LG announced its first curved OLED screen equipped handset – the G Flex – Samsung has released an advert for its smartphone with a curved OLED display – the Galaxy Round.

The advert is in Korean, which should not come as a surprise since Samsung does not intend to release the Galaxy Round outside of Korea. In the advert, Samsung compares the curved OLED screen on the Galaxy Round with an egg, a baby’s hand and many other curved objects to show how swiping across the Galaxy Round’s screen is a breeze, thanks to its curved display.

Samsung’s Galaxy Round and the LG G Flex are among the first smartphones to hit the market with curved OLED displays. As a consumer, I have no idea how curved OLED displays will help us in better interacting with our smartphones.

It is also interesting to see Samsung and LG take different approach for their curved displays. While the Galaxy Round’s display is curved from left to right, the G Flex display is curved from top to bottom. The benefits of either of them are dubious though.
