Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+will be released on the evening of March 29. Today's overwhelming news also exposed a Samsung smart watch patent, which has a very special brain hole - adding a second screen on the side of the dial of the smart watch.

Gear S3

Samsung has been working hard in the field of smart watches. As early as 2014, there was the first Gear S that supports 3G Internet access, and the Gear Fit bracelet series that uses a curved screen, while the Gear S2 introduced a rotary dial. This Samsung patent is to place a 360 degree curved auxiliary screen directly on the edge of the whole dial, which looks a bit like the Galaxy Edge of the past, and even the content displayed is very similar to the side screen of the current Galaxy S6/S7.

Its effect is quite cool, but practicability and power consumption are another matter. Such a narrow screen can intelligently display very simple content, and there is also the problem of display direction. When we look at one side of the dial, the display area on the other side is totally wasted... Of course, referring to the usual experience, many designs on patent documents will not be put into practice in the end. We should have a long view of the manufacturer's brain.
