Flexible Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Active almost ready for launch

A limited Edition of the Galaxy Note 3 with a flexible screen may arrive in November.

Samsung is reportedly introducing the Galaxy Note 3 Active next month, a version of the phone launched just weeks ago that incorporates Samsung's new YOUM flexible OLED display technology. A Samsung official supposedly confirmed the release with the Asian Daily, but the company currently hasn't released any official information.

Sources claim this version of Samsung's phone will come packed with a high-end metal chassis. The device will also be joined by a second, cheaper model seemingly addressing the iPhone 5C with an LCD screen and lower mainstream hardware. Whether these two devices actually make it outside Samsung's home market of Korea is unknown at this point.
The company is expected to produce around 1.5 million 5 inch to 6 inch flexible displays starting in November if Samsung can achieve 100 percent yields at its factories. But even if the company managed 60 percent yields, Samsung could still produce around 1 million panels a month, enough to supply a limited edition flagship product.

However don't expect to see a super curvy phone shaped like a banana, but a thinner, lighter form factor with a screen highly resistant to major damage. Unlike LCD screens that have six layers, the flexible display tech contains only four layers: film-based TFT and encapsulation (AKA "encap") layers instead of glass substrates, the organic layer and the polarizer.
Samsung was originally believed to be introducing its flexible OLED tech in the Galaxy Note 3 announced at the beginning of the month, but obviously that didn't happen. Then rumors pointed to a Limited Edition model packing the flexible tech to be released after LG's Vu 3 that was also supposedly packed with a flexible display. LG didn't produce the screen either, but settled on the 5.2 inch IPS panel with the signature 4:3 aspect ratio.

So now we're looking at November for both companies to produce smartphones with flexible displays. Both are obviously in a race to get the tech on the market first, but in no hurry to produce utter junk. LG and Samsung originally revealed their flexible solutions back in January during CES 2013 in Las Vegas, but in June LG said that production of flexible screens likely wouldn't begin until 4Q 2013 for both in-house devices and those built by other manufacturers.

BBM for Android and iPhone Not Launching This Week

Lots of android and iphone user are waiting for the release of this bbm for all latform
 
Poor BlackBerry. Though the company announced major layoffs on Friday afternoon, things were supposed to look up on the weekend with the release of BBM for iOS and Android. Though the iOS roll-out started as planned, it was soon halted, and the Android roll-out never got off the ground at all. BlackBerry said that an unreleased version of the BBM for Android app that leaked early "caused issues" and that it would keep users posted on a release.

Unfortunately, it seems that release won't be anytime soon. Andrew Bocking, head of BBM at BlackBerry, has said he doesn't anticipate launching BBM for Android this week. Bocking says that the unreleased version of BBM for Android was an older version and that it contained an issue that resulted in higher than normal data traffic for each active user. This in turn impacted the system after one million people downloaded the unofficial app. The Saturday version addressed these issues, but BlackBerry wouldn't be able to block the users of the unreleased version if the new, official release was launched.

Bocking says there's a team working on blocking the unreleased version when the official BBM for Android app goes live and reinforcing the system so that something like this doesn't happen again in the future. The moral of the story is that good things come to those who wait. And we're going to be waiting a while. Unfortunately, Bocking didn't mention how or why this affects the launch of the BBM for iPhone application, just that it had to be paused as a result of the issue with Android, so it looks like iPhone users are going to be waiting too.
