Hasta La Gadget!

Companies have already started to roll out 1080p smartphone displays, and HTC‘s recent DROID DNA announcement marks the first time a smartphone with a 1080p display will hit American soil. However, Samsung won’t be far behind if recent reports are accurate. It’s rumored that Samsung will show off a 1080p smartphone display of their own at CES 2013.

Korean newspaper Aisae reports that Samsung has developed a 4.99-inch 1080p display that is said to be used in the company’s rumored Galaxy S IV handset. The display is expected to enter the production stage sometime in Q1 2013, and will be on showcase at CES 2013. The display is said to have a pixel density of 441ppi, which just beats HTC’s DRIOD DNA by one pixel.

If the production details are true, we could see the Galaxy S IV arrive sometime in Q2 2013 possibly. We heard about the device back in September, and it’s aimed to be the Galaxy S III‘s successor. We were tipped with a March 2013 release date, which is right on track with the 1080p screen production estimates.

The new 1080p AMOLED display from Samsung is claimed to be very thin with low power consumption, and will feature high contrast and a high refresh rate. Whether or not the screen will display that kind of performance is still up in the air. We’ll certainly have to save any judgement for when we eventually see it at CES come January.

Research in Motion has applied to patent a system for automatically drafting a blog entry on your smartphone. In the examples, it would build out the bare-bones of an entry as soon as it hits a “trigger event,” such as taking a picture at a pre-determined set of GPS co-ordinates. Presumably, all you’d have to do is fill in the witty caption below and hit send, saving you valuable minutes on your road-trip. Of course, it may not even be granted, so don’t expect a CES trailer staffed solely with Bolds just yet…

You might be thinking, “it’s too early to be talking about CES,” and we wish you were right, but you’re not. January’s consumer electronics extravaganza is inching closer, plans are already being laid and Samsung President Stephen Woo is filling in appointments in his calendar. The most important of those will be his keynote that’s set to kick off day two of the festivities in Vegas. The talk will largely focus on the little things, and we don’t mean unimportant things, we mean components. All those tiny slivers of silicon that make your gadgets go are really what is pushing the industry forward and Samsung is a major player — pumping out processors, memory, SIMs and camera sensors. The former Bell Labs and Texas Instruments employee will bring his 20-plus years of experience to bear on a vision of the future, presumably powered by Sammy’s chips. Will he also unveils something new… perhaps a next gen smartphone CPU? We’ll just have to wait and see. Guess it’s time to start booking those flights.
