A recent survey conducted by Nielsen reveals that a great percentage of mobile customers in the United States are owners of smartphones and also that smartphones are responsible for the majority of purchases of new cell phone.
Smartphone is a gadget that has classified the convenience of a tiny computer that can be easily taken anywhere. With smartphones increasing becoming a trend around the globe, iPhones along with Android phones are now components of many households.
The rivalry between popular handset manufacturers such as Apple, Motorola, HTC and Samsung has resulted in superior battery life to boost the functions of the smartphone, 4G speeds for faster data transfer, incorporation of newer software, bigger displays, faster processors and a variety of designs, including the Samsung Galaxy Skin.
The Galaxy Skin was designed and developed by Hye Yeon You and Prof. Haeseong J. Jee and it was first displayed at an event at Hongik University, on June 10. According to Hye You, the design is still in the stage of conception and at the event, it was revealed to the Samsung team.
A few months after, Samsung confirmed the manufacture of the AMOLED displays which are flexible and set to be debuted by June 2012. At the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas, Samsung showed off its AMOLED displays. The displays are bendable, can be rolled all the way up and they can even withstand direct hits from a hammer.
The concept for this new mobile phone leaps ahead of the smartphone era to usher in the era of the “Genius Phone.”
In the place of a glass display, the AMOLED flexible one utilizes a polyimide substrate made from plastic. Research has revealed that by using plastic polyimide in place of glass, the flexible displays will have the capacity to wrap around a 1-inch cylinder. The flexible display receives electrical signals which result in physical deformation; which is the polymer core technology that is electrically active. One of the best features of the flexible displays is that they make use of AMOLED technology, which means that they are equipped with low energy consumption and bright screens. Furthermore, Samsung has joined forces with Ube Kosan, a company in Japan, which will most likely play a vital role in manufacture of the AMOLED flexible displays.
The series of Samsung Galaxy Skin phones will possibly incorporate sensor sensitivity which is comparable to that of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC). This is used for remotely sensing the different changes in temperature and weather. It includes color changes which enables solar battery to charge, a concept which is comparable to photosynthesis.
In its most recent attempt at dethroning Apple, Samsung has unveiled a flexible smartphone, the Galaxy Skin. The new smartphone was developed and designed by Hye Yeon and Professor Haeseong J. Jee and was revealed in South Korea, on June 10 at Hongik University and then later in Las Vegas, at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011.
The revolutionary feature of the futuristic gadget is that it is flexible and can take on a variety of shapes. The displays are bendable, tough enough to withstand blows from a hammer, and can be rolled up. This one-of-a-kind device and is poised to create a new description for smartphones. Previously, Samsung verified the manufacture of flexible AMOLED displays that might debut between the months of April and June 2012.
Instead of glass, the AMOLED flexible display of the gadget is said to be made out of plastic polyimide substrate. Earlier tests have also revealed that plastic polyimide will tolerate the bending of the flexible displays around a tube with a diameter of 1-inch. The flexible display receives electrical signals that result in physical deformation which is really the core technology of the active electrical polymer.
The biggest additional benefit for these types of displays is that they utilize the AMOLED technology which will come with good screen brightness and low energy consumption. Samsung has joined forces with Ube Kosan, a Japanese company that probably will be largely contributing to the production of the flexible displays.
As currently known, the specifications of the Galaxy Skin indicate that the device is equipped with a WVGA SUPER AMOLED flexible display that is 4-inch in size. The gadget also features a VGA Telephony Camera which will be outfitted with stop motion, Panorama shot, action shot, sport auto focus and self shot. The device also features an 8 MP rear.
The operating system of the device is still not known for sure. While a number of individuals say that it will feature the next-generation Jelly Bean from Google, others believe that the gadget will run a new type of operating system called Android Flexy.
Some of its other features include Exchange ActiveSync, Email, MMS, SMS, Video messaging, Android Market, augmented realty with Layar Realty Browser and integrated messaging “Social Hub.” A 1 GB RAM 1.2 GHz processor. The gadget is likely to come in both 16 and 32GB. Other features include Bluetooth version 3.0 connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and high speed USB version 2.0.
Aside from its primary function of being a smartphone, the gadget can be transformed into a table clock and it can also be sported as a timepiece around the wrist.

I like this article so much because it contains an update of smartphone that will be launching in middle of this year. The smartphone itself it's really great i think, because this is the first flexible smartphone in the world.
Eventhought it's flexible, that doesn't make other speciality reduce. Example, this smartphone has SUPER AMOLED technology, which means that this smartphone has low energy consumption and bright screen. And this gadget has soar battery, so it can be automatic charging just like photosynthesis.
Not only that, aside from it's primary function of being smartphone, the gadget can be transformed into a table clock and it can also be sported as a timepiece around the wrist, great isn't it ? yeah, this gadget really different from any other smartphone. I think this gadget have it's own class in the market, so it won't lose to it rivals such as Apple, Motorola, HTC, etc.
I hope this is still the start, and there are many great ideas out there to come out. This is our role as young engineer to make many great things to the world. Start from the small things to make a bigger one. Because everything has process and progress, there is no mistake to start from scracth or from small things.
