Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge faces shortages as demand outstrips supply

Higher than expected demand for difficult-to-manufacture curved screen smartphone means company is unlikely to be able to keep up

Samsung won't be able to keep up with unexpectedly high demand for its new curved screen Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone, the company has admitted.

Head of mobile JK Shin told press on Thursday that because the curved screens of the S6 Edge, which roll over the left and right sides of the smartphones, are difficult to manufacture the Korean firm won't be able to keep up with demand for the model in the near term.
