Samsung intros 12 megapixel duo: TL320 and HZ15W

What’s this, Samsung? Announcing a few new cameras each week until PMA hits us when we least expect it? Just days after the firm expanded its less than enthralling SL lineup comes two new 12 megapixelers. The TL320 is the same one we spotted earlier at Amazon, though some of those specs were — shall we say, preliminary. The official specs sheets lists a 12.2 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, 3-inch HVGA AMOLED display, 720p movie recording, HDMI output, dual image stabilization and twin analog gauges for checking out memory capacity and battery life. As for the ZH15W, that one checks in with a dozen megapixels even, a 10x optical zoom, a 3-inch LCD monitor, 720p movie mode and most of the same features as the aforementioned cousin. Both shooters should be available this May for $379.99 and $329.99, respectively, and you can catch the full release after the break.

How would you change Cowon’s S9 Curve?

Cowon’s S9 portable media player had a lot of folks excited — and understandably so. A bright, expansive AMOLED display. A sleek, curvaceous design. And a codec support list worth drooling over. During our time with the unit, we found the user interface to still be lacking in a few critical departments, though we certainly found a long list of reasons to love it, too. Now that it’s been floating around on US soil for a hot minute, we’re asking you how you’d tweak it. Are you completely satisfied with the UI? Are there any video formats that have inexplicably refused to play? Is the build quality up to your lofty standards? Let it rip below!

Samsung shows off OLED display collection at CES

OLED displays were out in full force this year, with Samsung bringing plenty of its own to showcase to CES onlookers. We already had a chance to check out a snazzy folding OLED late last week, but CNET was able to capture a few more for good measure. The most notable were the 3.3-inch “3D” AMOLED display (with a WQVGA resolution) and the 7.01-inch AMOLED panel, which was seen sporting a 1,024 x 600 resolution and a 30,000:1 contrast ratio. Flip through the gallery below for a few more looks, but don’t get your hopes up too high for any near-term release dates.

Eyes on with LG’s near-production 15-inch OLED TV: come on summer

While Sony’s OLED TV is little more than a beautiful, 11-inch novelty, LG is swaggering dangerously close to a respectable kitchen TV with this 15-inch AMOLED TV prototype. On display here at CES and planned for a production run sometime this summer, the image is absolutely stunning — every bit as impressive as the Sony’s XEL-1. Nothing else compares to the incredible contrast achieved by these OLED displays. Have a look in the gallery — we’ve got the prototype pictured with and without its chubby TV bezel. It’s credit-card thin (0.8-mm) and only on Engadget.

Samsung’s S8300 slider packs AMOLED display, 8-megapixel camera

If Samsung’s Soul had your innermost emotions shakin’, wait until you wrap your retinas around this. The S8300, which is said to be an upgrade from the aforementioned mobile — will reportedly come stacked with 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, a 2.8-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera, inbuilt GPS, an FM radio with RDS, 60MB of onboard memory, DivX playback and an “anti-scratch / anti-fingerprint coated duraluminium chassis.” There are no promises that it’ll be ready for a CES showcase, though we’re hearing that a MWC launch is expected in a worst case scenario. Lots more images are hiding in the read link.
