Should you be worried that HTC is swapping its AMOLED screens for Super LCD panels? According to this video comparison… no, not really.
HTC has today confirmed rumours about a planned switch away from the supply restrained AMOLED screen tech it sticks in its Desire and Nexus One phones, with new/old and more plentiful “Super LCD” screens replacing them.
Samsung is planning to launch a display with an AMOLED plastic panel on the universal board within two years. Why? Because by switching to the plastic panel, the AMOLED display would become unbreakable.
Samsung’s Super AMOLED screens have caused quite a stir lately, and as this video comparison shows, it certainly handles direct sunlight better than an AMOLED screen. When put next to an LCD though, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
Buried at the bottom of Samsung’s MWC press kit was mention of an I8520 “Halo” phone. Sporting Android 2.1, a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, and 720p video (to name a few), the phone will be officially revealed tomorrow.
Yesterday we saw the Samsung Wave from afar, today we get our first close look at Samsung’s first Bada-powered handset. The Wave is indeed the S8500, the first handset to receive Bluetooth SIG certification for the new Bluetooth 3.0 standard.
Seen here is the first SUPER AMOLED PHOOOONNNNEEE from Samsung, which is so SUPER you must wear a protective suit to touch it, lest you become SUPER too.
