Samsung customers now prefer the curve edge screen to the flat screen of the company previous smartphone. In a media interview in New York last week, the head of tech giant's mobile business has this to say:


"Samsung has considered that it would make the edge display as the identity of the Galaxy S smartphone lineup if the company can provide consumers differentiated user experience through software and user-friendly functions (for the curved screen)," said Koh Dong-jin
The Samsung Note 7 that was launched recently with just one version which feature the curve screen will only tips if Samsung wants to ditch the flat screen devices. Samsung previously state that the S7 edge sales has outpaced the sales of standard model.
"Samsung will not likely get rid of the flat-screen Galaxy S smartphone model right away, but if the market response is positive with the Note 7, it would surely serve as a cue for Samsung to focus only on the Edge model," a market watcher said.
