Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Design will be curved
So yeah, I just picked up the Note 3 phablet myself last week, absolutely love it. But obviously Samsung has a new model in the world already. Samsung mobile chief Lee Young Hee told Bloomberg that it would be launched in the second half of 2014, while the Korea Times claims it has been told the Note 4 will arrive at the IFA show in Berlin. Sources get even more specific, claiming it will arrive on September 3. In most countries you will see a Galaxy note 4 with curved display.
Korea Times shares the following:
An executive of another local Samsung partner said the company is set to wow the industry and participants at the new independent venue as the company will unveil wearable devices, the Galaxy Note3 sequel, home appliances and curved OLED TVs. "Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note4 phablet, UHD OLED TVs, a Google Glass rival, and home appliances at the upcoming IFA," said the executive. Samsung is in the progress of fixing details about its new announcements, he said. "The Note4 will have two versions ― one with a curved OLED display for niche markets and the other a flat OLED display for mass marketing," said the executive.
Galaxy Note 4 leaks indicate that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will feature a 5,7" 2K display screen of 2560 x 1440 resolution. Galaxy Note 4 leaked document however also suggest the idea of a 4K display, but we find that highly unlikely.
Thus far samsung has announced merely one curved smartphone, the Galaxy Round which was only released in South-Korea.

I was dubious too but there are tangible benefits to curved phones, namely reduced reflections and more screen area squeezed into same length.

whilst i understand the benefits mentioned, it still doesnt seem like a big enough improvement to be something worth spending millions of marketing dollars on.
but thats just my opinion, take that how you like

From what I've read from previous rumours, Samsung mentioned there will be two versions of the Note 4.
There will be a regular version as well as a curved design, both having the same specification.
Can you verify this Hilbert?

They say it's follows the shape of your eyes. I think it's bull...
If it was better then why wern't paintings 200 years ago curved aswell?
If the viewing angles were terrible, it would make sense. But with IPS or AMOLED displays, it's useless.
However, there are some benefits of curved screen, and I can name 2:
1. It's less burdening when having such phone in pocket compared to the flat one.
2. If you place it screen down on flat surface, it's more difficult to scratch the screen with sand/dust, when you push the phone along named surface (yeah, a coworker of mine did it with my SGS2 and a dirty desk some time ago).
