Samsung Launching AMOLED Phone Next Week?
If these rumors bear fruit, Samsung will announce something very special next week and MWC.
With Mobile World Congress set to take place next week we're expecting to be inundated with gushy press releases from this company and that company. However, one release we'd be more than happy to receive, would be an announcement from Samsung about the company's first "Super AMOLED" phone.
Several news sources are reporting that Samsung will debut its 3.3-inch touchscreen phone next week and MWC in Barcelona. According to OLED-Display, Samsung has suggested that this new display is five times more vivid and performs 20 percent better when it is used outdoors.
Right now, there's not a lot of information (aside from what's mentioned above), but if the pictures are anything to go by, the device is definitely a lot sleeker than some of the touchscreen phones hitting the market now so we're excited to hear more about this device.
We'll keep you posted on this one.

"Super AMOLED"
Great! we are expanding on the acronym...
First it was LED, then OLED, then AMOLED...

LED and OLED are quite different.
LED = LCD/TFT with LED backlighting.
OLED = every pixel is a LED, and provides it's own lighting (such as a plasma screen, but a hell of a lot more efficient).
I haven't said anything about being different/same... just talking about acronym.... please don't get me wrong
OLED = organic LED, and as stated, due to the organic nature, each pixel is self illuminating
the picture is just the screens.. you can see the connector in the right side of the screens
Let's all try not to jump on the silly trend where LED = LED backlit LCD. It'll just get confusing in the future. An LED display is a display in which the pixels are individual LEDs (or triplets in the case of color). They are used in some outdoor displays and 'jumbotrons' Maybe LED backlit LCDs should be called LBLCDs?
Dear Jane,
As awesome as another AMOLED phone sounds, I do not think that Tom's should be promoting carcinogenic products.
I believe that any phone that requires gloves to hold should certainly not be held to one's ear.
With regards,

Its because they are in a static free environment, not because its going to kill you
Really you think he didnt realize that. called sarcasm. And how do you know its not going to kill you.
The picture is a rather lame and doesn't show anything!
Ever noticed that SAMOLED is an anagram of SAME OLD...
;-)

You do know thats a dust/static safety suit because they are probably in a development lab where exposed circuit boards are kept... right?
No it's the new iPhone and they're wearing blast-proof armour.
I don't know why do I feel this picture is photoshoped! Don't get me wrong but that's what I feel.
Good thing i read this . I was planning on buying an i8910 !

Comprehension fail.
It's called sarcasm.
@Hope Slayer
sarcasm: some people aren't smart enough to know these things
(NOTE: this is NOT sarcasm but a said, said, very said thruth)
I meant that some people really are that stupid.
And we shouldn't laugh in their face, but help them understand to avoid misunderstandings. Because stupid people usually are quite vocal.
I live in beautiful sunny southern Arizona where the sun shines 350 days a year. I was wondering when someone was going to make a screen that worked in full sunlight.
