The Galaxy Round, which is expected to be announced this week as the first smartphone with a flexible display, will have the same specs as the Galaxy Note 3, according to a report published by ETNews, and will be launched in Korea by SK Telecom just a few days after going official.

According to Rbmen, the screen will be of 5.7-inches and will be curved along the contours (sides) of the device, making it fit the shape of a person's face when making a call. The curved screen will also improve the experience when watching movies or playing games, while the resolution will remain at 1080p. Other specs will reportedly include a Snapdragon 800 processor and Android 4.3, though it's not expected to be compatible with the S Pen, which should help keep the cost down (though it'll still be priced pretty high).

As always, nothing is confirmed right now, but if rumours hold true, we should be getting all the details on the Galaxy Round within a fortnight.
