Samsung has demonstrated its great interest in curved screens to launch the Note Edge last year, which despite being a curious device, just not calling the attention of many.

This good reception eventually forced Samsung to triple the number of production curved screens for S6 Edge, being necessary to partner with S MAC to complement production in the manufacture of some thousands of panels to South Korea.
