In spite of the rumours that Samsung is considering a flexible screen for the Samsung GALAXY Note III, an investment firm in South Korea rule out that the display on the next version of Samsung’s phablet will be made of non-flexible glass. Korea Investment & Securities Co. anticipates that the device will feature a 6 inch AMOLED screen. According to a previous rumour, there was a 5.99 inch display for the Samsung GALAXY Note III. In a report to clients, the investment house says,” it does not believe that Samsung is ready to mass produce flexible OLED screens, and that the Korean based manufacturer needs more time to adopt it for the major models."  As per one report, Samsung Display plans on producing the flexible OLED screens at its A2 P3 line where only 24,000 screens can be at present produced in a month. Fellow Korean manufacturer LG had earlier declared that it would deliver a handset with a flexible display before the end of the year. However, it is also said to be having problems mass-producing the part. As a result, rumour is that LG will delay the launch of a Smartphone with a flexible display. Both Samsung and LG use different technologies in making their flexible screens. In Berlin at IFA 2013, Samsung GALAXY Note III might be launched. However, it is expected to be unveiled in the third quarter of this year.

Apparently, Samsung is prepping a new tablet/convertible gear with Intel's power-sipping Bay Trail architecture which will be hitting devices in time for the holiday shopping craze.

Bay Trail is the Atom child in the new Silvermont line of Intel with the frugal 22nm process which is three times more powerful than the current Atom powering tablets like the Acer Iconia W510. Also, the leaked identifier reveals that the product consists of at least the system, plus keyboard and screen.

There's no other information on what the potential tablet/hybrid computer from Samsung might look like. However, we have the feeling that this Intel architecture will be the first true answer to ARM's power grab in mobile.
