5,7" .... "phone"...i lol'd

its a f***** brick, not a phone...you can easily kill someone with that piece of crap

still think, that this "phones" look so stupid while calling.
oh i know the next revolutionary thing they could come up with: a "cool-looking-hipster-headstrap": for people with phones ~6" who cant hold that thing for some min...yeah, imagine that, you will look so cool...walking around with a headstrap while you phone somebody. at least you'll have two hands free =)

i know its off-topic, but so this piece of junk is.

@v0id,

I absolutely agree. I also prefer a phone that fits comfortably in the hand. But, to each his own. I guess that for some people, it's a single piece of equipment that replaces at least four: a phone, a PDA, a camera and a desktop computer, and those people are willing to sacrifice some comfort for convenience of another kind.

The next step will be a 7" phone. No one will be able to hold that to their face so it will come with a handle at the back that will make it look like an iron. The handle will also double as a kick stand. Heck, perhaps I should patent that idea, sell it to Samsung and make a lot of dosh!

that's a good point, but at least they could stop call it a "phone"...they should think about an alternative name for this kind of device.

This device has been getting surprisingly a lot of hate around the web. I think its amazing. First phone with a proper curved display and for a Samsung the device looks nice.
I would get it, if it was available here.

That's the target, but there is still a lot that needs to happen in graphene. Proof of concept is already there, but it's still a long way till mass manufacturing will start.
Nokia is Europes largest on graphene studies and Samsung is even larger globally.

We don't need a design like that, but we might want a design like that ;)
It's too big for me to be useful as an everyday phone, but I like the design and you can't complain about the specs. Looks premier, solid and curved like a sportscar :cool:
I'm going for Jolla either way...

nothing can beat n9's curved display
ROUND!!! lol

So it hugs your leg in your pocket? I just don't get it.
The curved glass on the N9 et al was just the glass on top of a flat display. What does curving the display do to viewing, say, a movie? Would their be viewing angle distortion? Just strange...
