Samsung's new handset will carry a virtually identical range of hardware specification to the
Galaxy Note 3, and as you’ll see from the
Evleaks shots below, it’s of very similar aesthetic.

The
Galaxy Round's 5.7-inch (14.4-centimeter) display has a slight horizontal curve and weighs less than the Galaxy Note 3, allowing a more comfortable grip than other flat-screen models on the market, mobile carrier SK Telecom said in a statement.
Curved displays open up possibilities for bendable designs that could eventually transform the high-end smartphone market by allowing mobile and wearable gadgets to take new forms.
LG Electronics plans to introduce a smartphone with a vertically curved display in November, a source familiar with the matter said this week.
