Hard on the heels of LG’s announcement earlier this week that it is planning flexible-display handsets of its own, Samsung Electronics on Wednesday announced the release of the Galaxy Round, which it says is the world’s first smartphone featuring a curved screen.

The 5.7-inch Galaxy Round is now being rolled out in South Korea in “Luxury Brown,” with more colors coming soon.
