The Wall Street Journal reports that Samsung has announced in Seoul its plans to release a mobile phone with a curved screen in October.

While the company declined to provide details on the phone’s specs, one of its latest patent filings in South Korea suggest the screen could be curved slightly inwards.



Samsung has been busy applying curved designs to its vast array of television models, unveiling 55-inch and 65-inch ultra-high-definition TVs just this month.

Coming soon in news: Apple to release curved screen smartphones 6 months later.
