LG and Samsung both tried something new a few years
ago: they released smartphones with curved displays. Samsung released the
Galaxy Round, a device that had a screen curved along its vertical axis, sort
of like a taco shell. Meanwhile, LG released two generations of its LG G Flex –
a smartphone that was curved along its horizontal axis. When placed in a
pocket, it was flexible enough to go flat and then return to its curve.
The latest report comes from Evan Blass (A.K.A.
@Evleaks) in the form of a tweet with a couple of photos. The tweet references
the aforementioned smartphone before saying that Doogee might very well be
trying to make a curved-screen device.
The display would feature an 18.5:9 aspect ratio
with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The two images attached to the tweet show
a flexible display, with Doogee’s branding on it. Likely from some kind of
prototype display.
Doogee came out of the shadows with a
near-bezel-less smartphone – the Doogee Mix. Should it happen, the compant
might bring the curved-display form factor back into relevancy.
