They say you learn something every day. What they don’t say is how interesting / impressive / life-changing that thing is going to be. And while we don’t want to downplay our own blogging, today’s bit of education might not be up there with, well, most of the things you’ve ever learnt before. Ever. Because today’s lesson is about active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes. You know, active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes! Or AMOLEDs as they prefer to be known as.
The Samsung Omnia Pro has a whopping 3.5” AMOLED touchscreen, which will probably be amongst sharpest, clearest and brightest screens you’ve ever seen. And the best thing about these type of screens is that unlike all their rivals, they consume significantly less power. So you won’t need to be turning up the brightness to impress your mates, only to then have to turn it down again to conserve battery life once no one’s looking. So there you are then: you now know what AMOLEDs are. Told you you wouldn’t be impressed.
And, to be honest, we have a sneaking suspicion that not everyone is going to be all that impressed with the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610, because even though this AMOLED thang sounds impressive now, come the reputed Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 launch date of “sometime in October” this won’t be the only AMOLED-faced phone on the block.It does have a good range of all the usual smartphone gadgets though (A-GPS, WiFI, 3.5G, FM radio, solid internet browsing) so we might well be proved wrong.
