The Korean company recently unveiled Galaxy Skin, an Android smartphone that can take on different shapes and take on even hammer blows, set begin production in 2012 Q 2 with murmurings of a release sometime thereafter.
So aside from its flexible form, what specs can Galaxy boastof? For startes, it will have a flexible 4″ AMOLED display (800×480) made of plastic polyimide substrate. Samsung already confirmed that they have started production of such screens. This form of AOLED technology consumes less energy but still delivers good screen brightness compared to the normal Samsung AMOLED.
Other known specs of Galaxy Skin include 1 GB RAM, 1.2 GHz processor, 8 MP rear camera an VGA front camera with auto focus, self-portrait, stop motion, action shot, and Panorama shots, and 1500 mAh battery. Connectivity-wise, it has Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n features. It will reportedly run on Android Jellybean (the next Google OS version after Ice Cream Sandwich), but there are speculations that Google will make a special version for it, namely Android Flexy.
