Samsung's current production lines are capable of handling 8,000 5.5-generation sheets per month to produce up to 500,000 flexible panels for smartphones, with a 30 percent yield, a figure that's nowhere near the millions of units every Galaxy S flagship sells and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Then there's also the fact that curved displays are still in their infancy, with not enough advantages to warrant a place on a flagship device. Samsung is expected to launch a successor to the Galaxy Round, its first smartphone with a curved display, and we'll likely be seeing flexible displays only on such niche devices for a couple of years before they go mainstream.
What do you guys think? Is a curved/flexible display something you want on the Galaxy S5?
