We all want higher resolution for better image quality, especially on smaller screens. The good news is that Samsung Mobile Display will be developing a new 7-inch AMOLED display with a higher resolution.

This AMOLED display will feature a resolution of 1024×768. The previous AMOLED display had a resolution of 1024×600. But you won’t be seeing the new displays on tablets this year. When we hear more we will let you know.

Samsung has another world’s first on it’s hands. This time a 19-inch transparent AMOLED display, taking the technology up a few notches from the 14-inch model they were showing off at CES in January. The company has now achieved a 30 percent transparency on its designs, and so they have some big ideas on how they want to use the technology.

Samsung sees it used in storefront advertising, just like in the sci-fi movies, HUDs for helmets and even car windshields.

Damn you Avatar, look what you’ve done. Now everything has to be in 3D. Now Samsung is getting ready to introduce the world’s first mobile phone featuring a 3D display. The Samsung W960 is expected to support a 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that will display 3D images without the need of any special 3D glasses.

Looks like this is just for the South Korean market for right now. The W960 is powered by Samsung TouchWiz 2.0, will support HSPA, DMB-T TV tuner, Bluetooth and microSD card slot. Nothing yet on the release date or the price, and we have no idea when the phone would be made available outside of South Korea.

Samsung is introducing the Beam SPH-W9600 in Korea. It comes with a 3.3 inch AMOLED screen with touch sensitivity, a 5 megapixel camera and a 9 lumen projector module that will throw images up to 50 inches.

This one is 1.5 times brighter than their last effort. Some other features include Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, HSDPA, DMB terrestrial digital TV tuner, front facing camera, 11 GB of on-board memory and a card slot for expansion. No word on availability of the Samsung beam here or in Europe, but time will tell.

iPhone rumors are flying fast and furious this week. To add some fuel to the fire, here’s some speculation from UBS analyst Maynard Um. He claims that the new iPhones may have a touch sensitive back, which is something that people have speculated about for some time. Some other possible features include a 5-megapixel camera, 64GB of storage, AMOLED display and longer battery life.

All of those would be nice, but we will see what happens. Apple could turn the back of the iPhone into a touch-sensitive surface, similar to the Magic Mouse. It would make the iPhone even more versatile. But we just don’t know.

Cowon has launched the Cowon J3 AMOLED PMP for the Korean market. It features a 3.3-inch AMOLED (480 x 272) touchscreen display, a DMB and Bluetooth. You’ll also get a built-in speaker, a voice recorder, a dictionary, TV-Out, and a MicroSD Slot.

The J3 is currently available in 4, 8 or 16GB capacities. The built-in battery is said to deliver a battery life with 64 hours of audio playback or 11 hours of video playback, which is pretty outstanding. It looks pretty stylish too.

Samsung has been showing off their latest AMOLED concept, an e-passport with a 2-inch QVGA resolution flexible display in an identity card. The idea is to show a 360-degree view of the card-holder, rather than just a headshot. The e-passport uses an AMOLED display that can be powered wirelessly via an RFID reader.

Usually the display is blank (That’s why you need a normal picture. Not everyplace will have an RFID reader) but when it gets close to the scanner it powers up and automatically shows the video. The AMOLED is flexible, but also has a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and is capable of displaying 260k colors. Video below.

It’s been camera shy thus far, but the Samsung I8000 has finally made its first public appearance by way of a Lithuanian online retailer. The I8000 is the successor to the Omnia and will come with the following impressive specs.

A 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen display, 8.1-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, VGA video recording supported, 150MB internal memory, Qualcomm processor, microSDHC memory card slot, and the Windows Mobile operating system.

Samsung UK has announced the upcoming release of a new candybar handset, the Lucido. The name means”sleek” in Italian. The slim, 11.8mm thick body is all dressed up in brushed aluminum. Some of the set’s standout features are a 2.2-inch AMOLED screen for richer colors, an assisted GPS sensor that uses Google Maps, and 3G network support over HSPA for fast downloads and browsing.

Some more common features include: a media player, FM radio, up to 8GB of storage via an external memory card slot and a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, anti-blur, face detection and smile capture.

According to PhoneDog a tipster sent them this image of the Samsung a877 with a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, WQVGA resolution, slideout, QWERTY keyboard and a dashing look. The tipster says that the phone will have 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, 3-megapixel cam with geotagging, and will use the TouchWiz UI.

It will be available by the end of the March. That’s about all the info we have, but we really like what we see. Not bad for a non smartphone.
