Not only does is the screen of the upcoming Samsung Omnia Pro monster-sized (3.5″, 480×800 pixel display, 16m colour WVGA resolution) it’s also monster-coloured. That’s assuming you realise, of course, that monsters are all extremely bright and clearly coloured. All the monsters I’ve ever met have been…

The reason the screen’s so special on this thing is that it’s an AMOLED, which stands for “active-matrix organic light-emitting diode”. As you all knew. The best thing about this new piece of kit is that it is not only ultra thin and bright, but because it doesn’t require a backlight it is low-power and (relatively) low-cost. So expect an impressively juicy display for not a huge amount of money when the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 gets released sometime in October. At some point this kind of technology will make it to your TV screens too – just picture wafer thin Plasmas hanging from your walls and you’ll see the future is very bright indeed.

Aside from the screen, the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 smartphone also has a decent sized slide-out QWERTY, 5 megapixel camera, 3.5G support, TV-out, WiFi, GPS and all the other expected features, so it’s going to be a fully fledged member of the smartphone family.
