Blackberry shows a prototype phone with a curved display

During the Mobile World Congress last week, Blackberry unveiled a prototype phone that has a curved display - similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge one. Besides the touch display, the new prototype also has a slider keyboard.

Blackberry did not reveal anything regarding this phone or when they plan to release it. But it's great to see them try out what is undoubtedly a flexible OLED display for a future phone, and it's interesting to know that either Samsung Display or LG Display is supporting Blackberry with such a display.



This won't be Blackberry first OLED phone. In 2013 they released two AMOLED models, the Q10 and the Z30. Both of them used Samsung's Super AMOLED displays - which means that Blackberry already has good ties with Samsung's AMOLED division and so it's more likely that this curved display is made by SDC.
