The Galaxy Note II is expected to be announced at the end of the month ahead of IFA 2012, but there’s always time for some last minute details. According to a report from the Korea IT Times, Samsung will make use of an 5.5-inch AMOLED panel in the Galaxy Note II featuring unbreakable plane display technology along with a plastic substrate. That will allow the South Korean manufacturer to reduce the thickness of the phone, possibly leaving room for a larger battery.
That won’t mean that the phone will be flexible, however, just that the use of plastic substrate will allow the display to be curved while being stronger and more resilient than the typical glass that is used for smartphones. UBP tech will make the screen 0.4mm thinner overall: that doesn’t sound like much, but space is at a premium in a smartphone, so every little bit counts. It could also help to increase battery capacity for the Note II, or make room for additional components within the handset.
It’s not the first time the Note II has been rumored to use an unbreakable plane display. MK Business News first reported in June that the technology would make the jump to Samsung’s Note successor, although DDaily later contradicted those reports, saying that the technology wouldn’t be used this time around.
Other reports suggest the Note II will feature a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a 1280×720 resolution, a change in resolution and aspect ratio from the original Note. The design of the device is reportedly tweaked to fall in line with the Galaxy S III aesthetic, with the handset also featuring a quad-core Exynos processor and an improved camera with a megapixel count somewhere between 8 and 12. The Note II is expected to be announced at a Samsung event on August 29th, and we’ll be there to cover the event.

It would be an understatement to say that the iPhone changed the way we looked at and used phones – after all, full touchscreen smartphones never really caught on with the masses until Apple introduced their game changer 5 years ago. Well, some are still resistant to the idea, and decided to stick to a QWERTY keyboard on their handsets instead, although such phone models are slowly but surely getting fewer in number. Tactus Display might want to change things by introducing a touchscreen display that actually morphs from a numeric dialpad into a QWERTY keyboard, ensuring that fans of either side of the divide are able to get their input format of choice – you can either go touch, or physical. It would be interesting to see just when Tactus Display will introduce this technology into modern day smartphones, giving the choice back to consumers instead of dictating trends for them. According to Tactus Display, their technology will see action in real world products from next year onwards, so we intend to keep a keen eye peeled out for this when it happens.
LG Electronics of South Korea has just ushered in a spanking new era of TV after unveiling the world’s largest and slimmest 55-inch OLED TV, where the event took place in Europe at Monaco’s world famous Salle des Etoiles. This particular unveiling happened right in front of an audience of 400 dealers, journalists and special guest F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, where LG officials has a mission statement in their career to churn out the most advanced commercial OLED TV in the market. I suppose they have done a pretty good job at it, and LG is also proud to be the first company to deliver these TVs to European consumers sometime in the second half of 2012.
