Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Following yesterday's reports that Samsung has mastered the Super AMOLED HD technology with current production methods, but new materials and clever PenTile matrix gymnastics, comes another rumor that the Nexus Prime will carry such screen.
Google's next poster child for Android Ice Cream Sandwich is to indeed sport a 720x1280 pixels 4.5" screen, which should be a sight unseen, considering the Super AMOLED technology.

Samsung loses their marbles, plans on launching a 5.3 inch smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung, who many know from their rather large portfolio of Android smartphones and HDTV televisions, is also one of the world’s largest component suppliers. In fact, according to a recent article in The Economist, of the $178 worth of components Apple uses to make an iPhone 4, 25% of that money goes to Samsung. Two “industry insiders” who spoke to OLED-Info have told the online publication that Samsung will introduce several Super AMOLED panels later this year that pack a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. One of the said panels will measure 5.3 inches diagonally and be used in an upcoming smartphone.

Care for a taste of a keyboard-less 'Berry smartphone? Well, Walmart may have something that will spark your interest – the BlackBerry Torch 9850, which is currently available for pre-order on the retailer's web page.
Getting the smartphone will set you back $99, which is a pretty good offer considering that Sprint is expected to offer the device for $50 more. Of course, your signature on a 2-year agreement with Sprint will be required. Unfortunately, there are no details given in regards to the Torch 9850's shipping time frame, and since the carrier has yet to announce an official release date for the handset, when the order will be delivered to your doorstep is still anybody's guess.
