Unlike the LCD screens already available on the market, such as HTC's Droid smartphone DNA, the Samsung screen should be Super AMOLED. The screen is very slim, sources said, and will offer a preview image density of 441 pixels per inch it is also very power efficient which is a very important feature for this type of screen (the battery in HTC's smartphone with a 1080p screen is not something to brag about). Information about whether it will feature the PenTile or RGB matrix has not been released, but with such a high pixel density, it is a characteristic of minor importance.

Apparently Samsung is using its current mass production method mixed with advanced LITI technology to push the phone out. Samsung's first device to use the screen in question is the Galaxy IV. This smartphone is apparently supposed to be launched in the second quarter of next year. It will be interesting to see how Apple will respond to this new breakthrough in the smartphone market, will they keep their extended iPhone with 1136x640 resolution, or will the follow the herd and go into Full HD.

[Ed - The idea of a full HD smartphone has been developing for a while, but it does bring another question to mind. If Smartphone makers can build a Full HD screen on a 5-inch device why do we not see Laptops and tablets with 1920x1080 be default? We know if cannot be price or difficulty in manufacturing these panels. It is also not GPU power as even the lower AMD APUs and Intel Core CPUs can handle this resolution. Is the market intentionally hobbling the notebook and tablet?]
