Galaxy Note 4 Rumors: Device to Feature a Three Sided Display

By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Thursday, January 09, 2014

The first credible Galaxy Note 4 rumor has surfaced revealing that the next-generation model could feature a three-sided display.

Samsung's Exec VP of the mobile division Lee Young Hee recently interviewed with Bloomberg and confirmed that the new device could feature this type of advanced display thanks to the company's closer relationship with Gorilla Glass maker Corning.

An earlier patent application submitted by Samsung also pointed to the company going with this three-sided touchscreen.

Samsung's 2014 flagships which includes the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 could also end up featuring chips with 4GB RAM.

Last month the company announced the development of the industry's first 8GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM chip which is denser, faster, and more energy efficient than any of the products currently found on the market.

The new memory chip is built on a 20-nm class process which allows manufacturers to reach a capacity of 1GB of RAM on a single die. Smartphone makers will be able to give their devices 4GB of RAM by combining four of these chips.

They will make appearances on future high-end smartphones, tablets, and notebooks that have higher density displays. Both the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 are expected to feature WQHD screens with 2560x1440 pixels. 4GB of RAM will certainly help to power these displays and run apps smoothly.

Samsung is also able to shrink the size of this immensely powerful chip by using smaller circuitry and with LPDDR4 technology. It is also faster and consumes less energy than LPDDR3 chips. The company stated that the new memory provides 50 percent higher performance that the fastest LPDDR3 or DDR3 chips currently available. Energy consumption is reduced significantly while data transfer speed is increased.
