Probably in the wrong place, Sorry in advance just move the post.
Ok so yes it does sound stupid but its been going around lately and it could be possible. Samsung has had the technology for years now and why not? Not only will it be flexible but also it can with stand grate damage.
Sorry dont know how to enable videos. (not my video)
example here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k6r2HQY9Ws
as you can see it can withstand the force of a hammer. also it super thing which would allow for a bigger batter or other hardware.
well its rumors. but samsung, HTC, and apple have all made different variants of there devices this year why not the Note 3?
Top sites have covered this story including:
pocketnow, sammobile, talkandroid, and gottabemobile.
So what do you think? is it possible? or gonna be true? hey you never know! 6 years ago you would have never though that there would be smart watches, glasses or phones.

Dude, reading your post I felt like I was talking to a kid on speed that was trying to explain a scientific theory...
but from what I gather, no. There will be no variant with flexible display.

This concept has been around for 2 years. Here is a prototype phone using this technology at CES:

Here is another look of it but this time the wrap around screen is on the bottom of the screen. This would make it easier to hold but love both ideas.

I wonder if the version with the flexible screen will be bigger than the current 5.7"...
The metal chassis might be a problem though, since no swappable battery (and no possibility to upgrade it with an aftermarket one)...
These are my favorite concepts:

I know that a year ago Samsung said they have alreadymade a 6.5" flexible screen so it is possible for sure.
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/09/25/samsung-to-release-a-phone-with-a-curved-display/
The rumoured device to be graced with the curves is apparently a ‘limited edition’ Galaxy Note 3. No word on a Canadian release, but the curved display is progress and one step closer to a flexible and bendable smartphone.
I'm going to wait to see if they do or not before buying a GN3. If the rumors are true then ill compare it with the Galaxy F series to see which one is better for me.

I have been using Xperia z1 past 5 months....i m getting a chance to exchange it with LG G2(32 gb)....So m in a big confusion..shud i or not?
i look for Battery backup, gestures, Regular updates and non heating device...wat do u think guys?
The LG g2 has excellent battery life. It's on Kit Kat, though I don't know how many stock updates it'll get after that. It has built in heat protection. I don't know what you mean by gestures. It has knock on which is one I think.

No it isn't. The Z1 has basically the same hardware aside from the screen which is better on the G2 and the camera which is better on the Z1. Sonys skin is also noticeably lighter than LGs UI.
The Z1 has a Snapdragon 800 or the equivalent? Nice... I bet the G2 has better battery life though....

It has the same chip as the G2. And battery life is close - the Z1 also has a big battery and it really depends on usage whether the G2 or Z1 gives better battery. I think the G2 will do more web browsing.
To answer the OP, I would probably not exchange now unless you are unhappy with the Z1 or have an issue with it. The specs are so close that the G2 won't be much of an upgrade (though it isn't a downgrade either).
Thanks for all ur advice...i was pulled toward G2 coz of its bigger screen, better battery and its UI...but m doubtfull abt future updates in it and lack of waterresistant and dustproof feature..
my wife has z ultra and i have g2. z ultra has the same chipset, different form factor and bad camera but build quality of sony and waterressistance is better than g2, also sony's screen is not better but as good as g2.
g2 has better support from xda i guess.
if i had a chance i'll go for z1.
I bought the 32gb, 3gb ram version from Amazon DE. I watched a lot of review sites and they generally praised the phone and said the performance was good. Here my initial thoughts:
-- the screen is too warm and makes everything look dull when compared to LG G2
-- Performance is very poor compared to the LG G2, G2 is snappy in comparison
-- animations, scrolling etc are running at 10-15fps or it seems. Compared to the LG G2, its buttery on the G2. Im a sucker for smooth animations
-- launching app - for some reasons there is a noticeable delay - that was rare on the G2
-- battery poor compared to the LG G2
-- games suffer from low frame rates compared to the LG G2.
-- youtube chrome cast bug - not a problem on G2 - means I'm unable to use me chromecast now. Bugger..
-- and the phone gets too hot..
-- hissing when using AUX output in car.
Antutu show the G3 as having lower performance them the G2.
I sold my G2 and feel like have just been robbed by LG. Yes, i loved the G2 and was expecting more of the same.
All this at the cost of having a quad hd screen - a marketing spec stunt, processor is marginally better then G2 on paper and GPU is the same as the G2. In real terms a massive step backwards in almost all regards.
I feel ****...
I have to agree in part.
I love this phone but it is clear that there are some steps backward.
The battery and slickness are my two main concerns.
However I LOVE the camera which is a substantial improvement.
I love the screen at 100% but it only takes about 3mins use before this gets throttled to 90%
The removable battery is a great idea in theory but I cannot find anywhere to buy a spare so what's the point?
The sd card is important to me and is probably the main reason I upgraded. If the G2 had a card slot I doubt I would have changed.
I am hoping many problems can be resolved in an update but I am getting the impression that LG are not the quickest with firmware updates - fingers crossed!
I have been reading too that it takes a week for the g3 to learn you use and battery life improves and I just hope the us models are better or they release a update to fix this issues

I have had mine over a week now and sot has maybe improved from 2hrs to 2hrs 30mins. Not enough of an improvement. I really want sot to last at least 3hrs 30 mins to see me through a full day of my usage.
I have read that to disable the permissions for the McAfee App will give significant improvements. I have just done this tonight so I will report back tomorrow if there is any improvement.

It was greyed out until I unticked the permissions in security , then when I returned to the app I was able to force stop.

Yup. That's for sure.
If its that bad download nomone and reduce the resolution. Personally i don't think its that bad, with a few tweaks and a custom launcher the phone is fine. I do think the S801 isn't really suitable for QHD though.

The lag goes away using a third party launcher such as nova. The phone hardware is fantastic, it's the software that lets it down in some things. With iPhones it is the complete opposite

It's an LTE-A 906L variant
Obviously this isn't one of those noob questions where I would have the same ROM since the phone was new except I just have 300 more apps and 150 of them running in the back ground "slow".
It's not that, I have used multiple ROMs, now I'm on I think NOVA or whatever, one of those de-bloated official ROMs. Now days it just feels SO SLOW! And I almost don't install any apps! I have like one drawer page of apps!, the only apps I installed are 9gag facebook and wechat, I don't even install any games, everything else are just stock or Gapps. For example, if I press the recents key, it takes at least 1 sometimes 2 seconds for the recents menu to appear. and it takes about 3 seconds to launch Google Now. With the browser (chrome or stock), while scrolling doesn't lag, but switching tabs takes forever (seconds).
Also battery life seems to have gotten worse, I can always get through the day just fine, but there has been a few times I got home with 5% battery, because it's just always awake! Looking at stats from wakelock detector, the thing is awake AT LEAST 25% of the time (as much as 40%) even when just sitting there doing nothing and there's nothing I can do because the top wakelock calls coem from wechat,google, facebook messenger, email, and samsung stuff, I can't turn them off or I loose functionality. It drains ~20% overnight.
Notice how I've been saying that this is how I FEEL, because I don't really have reliable data for when the phone is new, maybe it's just in my head and it's always been like this? The only explanation I can think of is that I have since gotten myself an iPad Air 2 and it's been amazing, the battery life is just endless it feels impossible to drain even 30% while I can't see my S5 lasting more than 4 hours screen on. task switching on the iPad never takes more than 1 second, and apps seem to stay in memory for longer even though it has less memory.
I know AOSP/CM based ROMs are significantly more responsive, but I can't use them because they're not as reliable, and more importantly, I loose functionality with my Gear S2 watch.
I'm not trying to hype Apple here, I don't want to get an iPhone, if I decide to retire the S5 I'm most likely gonna get an S7. But I'm still hesitant because I saw this video on youtube with practical app launching test on the S7 and it turned out to be still WAY slower than the iPhone 6S, which makes sense. I mean yea Snapdragon 820 is fast, but single core is still not as fast as the A9, and app launching as well as most common tasks are still more single thread dependent. The 6S also has NVMe drives which again, blows away any android phone in flash performance. Some people have commented that the S7 wasn't on Wifi while the iPhone was, but I don't have either of the devices so I don't know if that makes any difference.
I really don't care about benchmark performance I just want a responsive and reliable phone. I'd have gotten an iPhone but I can't for a few specific reasons. One of them being the inability to arrange icons, because they're always in the way of my favorite wallpapers, I know it sounds silly but that's basically the reason I don't want to use an iPhone... I'd generally prefer Samsung because of the amazing screen , there should be no doubt Samsung has the best phone screens there is. iPhone is good for LCD, but cannot compete in absolute terms. So that leaves things like G5 out of the picture because the G5 is still LCD, and not even quantum dot it would seem.
Its just the age and the fact that its a samsung phone man....Samsung ages horribly, no worthwhile updates no good dev support because of the division of exynos and snapdragon.. Even an a3 is faster than my s5 in general use on stock rom...best remedy is to go for cm or change phone. Cause this is Samsung and once you buy a samsung device it loses all of its value in 10 months.
I highly recommend you the MM leaked rom 6.0.1 Better than any rom I've tried till now..
Everything works, running smooth and fast without any lag.

where can I find this ROM? I think I've heard the rumor but I haven't seen it available?
Facebook is known to be a massive battery drain on different platforms
Clear caches from recovery, that can help improve things again
Apps like SDMaid can help too

Hi everyone. I've searched all over xda and Google, but it's hard to find a direct answer to this. The S8 is a great piece of kit, but after 2 years I'm just plain sick of using it. Not only is the screen burning in, the software keeps getting worse, and these snapdragon models (950u) don't look ROM friendly. After the pie update, I'm ready to find a Li eage OS-friendly alternative. Anybody else feel the same way? What did you do?

I just installed the new Pie update, and I'm about to throw my S8 out the window. It's laggy as hell and still retains every annoyance, just prettier now...with removed functionality. I'm done. What AOSP friendly phone is best to replace this one? My most important features are the camera, expandable memory, water resistance, hdmi out, and headphones jack. I don't care if it's older, but the camera must at least be equal to this.
Also, a screen without burn-in is a big perk. After 4 years of daily navigation my S5 still has a clean screen, but my S8 has the Google Maps UI burned in after less than 2 years. What a piece of crap! After 2002, burn in was something you explained when kids asked about screen savers, or you'd see only in screens that were left on for months. Ironically, Samsung pioneered the screens that solved burn-in back then, now they just want you to throw away this garbage a couple years later. Disgusting.

Yes, I have a Snapdragon G950U (tmo). Oh, so close! I'm completely new to exynos projects, do they often make it to snapdragons easily? Will the bootloader battery restriction still be an issue?
On a related note, I've seen some posts saying Samsung has sometimes replaced burnt screens. Anybody else had experience here? Even if I keep the phone, this screen needs replacement. If I have to pay for that, it seems easier to sell this one and buy a rom-friendly phone. If that's the case, I probably don't want to get another Samsung.
