New Super AMOLED Phone from Samsung Gets DivX
The good news with the new Android smart phone from Samsung keeps on coming with the recent announcement that the Galaxy S will come with support for DivX videos. DivX has been a primary choice for video encoding for many people for its high quality and excellent compression rate. With the Galaxy S able to run at HD resolutions, it will be the first HD capable smart phone to come with DivX support.
While that is certainly great news for media buffs everywhere, the Galaxy S is already a great hit among smart phone fans as it is the first Android phone to be used in the super AMOLED display. The 4 inch capacitive touch screen display is expected to deliver images and videos in crisp stunning quality that other mobile devices cannot match. Aside from the impressive touch screen, it has also been confirmed that the phone will be running a 1GHz CPU and will have a 5 mega pixel camera as well.
On the software side, the device is reported to be using the new Android 2.1 OS and will also have the Samsung TouchWiz user interface. Additional features on the Galaxy S include the new Smart Life (a basic daily task helper) and ThinkFree (a Word document reader and editor) apps as well as the recently released Social Hub networking tool.
The first device to use the screen technology is the Samsung Wave –which is also the first mobile phone to use the Bada operating system. It was showcased at the Mobile World Congress where the open source platform was praised for its impressive app support and the screen technology was highly recognized for delivering superior quality images over standard AMOLED displays.
