Samsung Galaxy S3 complete guide

Flexing its muscles
However, if you're in the mood for a flutter on the S3's design, consider this: Samsung let slip in October that they would be launching hardware with flexible OLED (FOLED) technology in 2012, and hopefully in 'the earlier part'.
Because OLED screens have no backlight, they use less power and are generally slimmer than traditional LCD displays. They can also be fabricated on flexible materials and curved, bent or even rolled up completely -- and still show images and full-motion video. The downside is that OLEDs lack punch and can be overwhelmed in bright light
If the S3 has a FOLED screen, then all design bets are off (there's no point putting a flexible screen in a plain old rectangular chassis). In this case, we'd expect to see something cool like a reimagining of Nokia's classic 8110 'banana phone' -- but this time with the handset being all screen. Wackier options like rolled-up or pull-out screens are likely still to be some way off.
Whatever happens with the display, we're pretty sure this phone will pass on the Apple-baiting front button found on today's S2.
