Bloomberg released a report, stating in it that Samsung plans to release a smartphone with 3 screens. That’s right, a 3 sided screen. Benefit of this would be to view messages from an angle, be it text messages, news feeds and so on.

The phone is said to use an upgraded version of Samsung’s technology called Youm, currently in use on the curved Galaxy Round handset. The screen itself could be used in either the Galaxy line, Note series, or an entirely new line of devices from Samsung. Plans are for each side of the display to operate independently from each other.
There is no set release date from Samsung, but some speculate that it could be released by the second half of next year. The Youm technology was showcased at the CES event in Las Vegas back in January, and seems to be readying for the general public.
Could this be ushering in a new era of smartphone design? Or is this just a gimmick that will just blow over like the HTC Facebook phone… only time will tell.
