Design Patent Points To An All New Form Factor For The GALAXY Note 4

Sports a display that wraps around the corners instead of the bended one featured at CES 2013.

 

A new patent sheet for the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 has surfaced on the internet and it seems that Samsung’s upcoming Note will definitely sport a fresh new design.  A Samsung executive had earlier suggested that company is indeed seeking inspiration and experimenting with some completely new form factors. Little did we know that a wraparound display is in the works!

We recently reported that Samsung’s Note 4 would indeed be using a YOUM display similar to the one showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013. What we were most interested about at the end of the article, was how Samsung would utilize such a display and not how it would manufacture one.

Today, from what we can see from the patent filing document, the YOUM display literally wraps around the corners of the device. What’s more interesting is that the device also shows a number of shortcuts in the form of icons that can be launched in a closed state (with the case lid on). Even though the design looks impressive, we are a bit confused about how one would hold a device, if its display did indeed wrap around the corners. If one is able to launch apps from the corners of the display, it also means that grabbing it to hold it would activate the same.

Anyways what we have here is a patent filing, meaning that this is simply the idea that Samsung has in mind, which is being patented; and may not necessarily be the actual design. Let’s just hope that Samsung has an exciting design lined up for the GALAXY Note 4 which is actually practical to use rather than being a gimmick.
