Samsung has included quite a few tweaks to tap in the curved display potential and here are some of them:
  • Roll Effect: Enables user to check information such as date, time, missed call and battery easily when home screen is off
  • Gravity Effect: Creates visual interaction with the screen by tilting the device.
  • Bounce UX: Enables users to control their music. When the Galaxy Round’s display is off while the music player is running, a short press to the left of the device will play the previous track while a short press to the right will play the next track.
  • Side Mirror: Enables users to gain access to list of the album content with a left and right tilt.
