Samsung Omnia Pro B7610. Sneeze and you’ll miss it.
With a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth, wireless, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and not much else to write home about, you’d think the forthcoming Samsung Omnia Pro might get slightly lost in the market even if it was released now, let alone if it actually makes its supposed launch of October. (read a full Samsung Omnia Pro review here for more specs). However, one thing might just save it, and that’s it’s screen. So what’s so good about the touchscreen on this thing? Well, not only is it big, at 3.5”, but it’s also an AMOLED.
That’s right, AMOLED. No, we didn’t just sneeze as we were typing, AMOLED is a new type of screen that’s starting to be fitted to portable devices such as the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610. An acronym for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (no, again, we didn’t just have a sneezing fit), all you need to worry about is that this will be one of the crispest, brightest displays you’ve ever seen. What about battery life? we hear you hollering. Well, the best thing about these types of screen is that they’re also low on power consumption, meaning you can use the full force of the screen to watch videos, surf the internet and so on without worrying about carrying your charger around with you. In’t technology brilliant?!
Whether this will all still be quite as impressive come the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610‘s October launch we’re not quite sure, because brilliant as it is, technology also moves at a fair old pace and we fear that AMOLED might become yesterday’s news even before you’ve managed to remember what it stands for to impressive your mates. One more time: active-matrix organic light-emitting diode…
Check out this not-so-hot video that manages to not quite prove how good the screen is.
