ZTE is one of the few companies making a sly side-bet on Firefox OS, and next year it’s planning to double-down on that initial wager with the launch of a second handset running Mozilla’s smartphone platform. Speaking with IDG’s Michael Kan at Expo Comm China 2013, ZTE’s Executive VP He Shiyou expects the device to land first half 2014, with a larger display than its predecessor, a dual-core processor, a “revamped user experience” and, of course, a low price. The exec also said that, with approximately 100,000 units sold, demand for the ZTE Open “has exceeded supply,” and he anticipates double that figure in total sales. ZTE deliberately manufactured the Open on a small scale, but is optimistic about future adoption of Firefox OS. Shiyou believes HTML5-based apps will become more relevant as speedy network technology like LTE reduces reliance on native software, stating: “In the future, the app store business model will be no more.”

The smartphone market will be seeing a curved handset soon, with Samsung announcing plans to take the wraps of a smartphone with a curved display next month.

In the midst of Samsung’s global launch for its Note 3, the company is already thinking about its next big reveal. This time around, it’ll involve a curved display. The unnamed device could appear in Korea next month, according to Reuters, although Yonhap News (through the wonders of Google Translate) was told to expect a new device announcement some time in Q4. In either case, it’s soon. The last time we heard about Samsung’s handheld flexible displays was back in CES in January, where a 5.5-inch prototype device named ‘Youm‘ was revealed — that’s what you can see above. The prototype’s screen stretched to the outer edges of the device and was able to display notifications along the side, although the handheld itself wasn’t flexible. According to Park Sang-jin, CEO of Samsung SDI, the new device will use a similar OLED panel and will be curve-shaped (“not completely flexible”), which will “differentiate” the device from Samsung’s existing smartphone family. We suspect it may arrive with that new camera sensor too.

There’s little doubt now that the world understands Apple’s design language so well that those with the ability to replicate it have more power than they know what to do with. Case in point: a falsified advertisement for iOS 7 that suggests the software update can make an iPhone waterproof. People fell for it, hook, […]
