Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Note announced - GSMArena.com news
5.3" WXGA SAMOLED screen! Yikes. Now that is one humongous phone (Or should I say a mini tablet 
)
Both sports a Exynos 1.4GHz and Mali 400. The Galaxy 7.7 is super thin with uber cool looks 
2500 mAh battery 
Why donāt samsung and other brands realize that while reducing the bezel makes the tablet look sleeker it also makes it a hassle to use, resulting in unwanted screen interactions. A tablet is not phone sized that you can wrap your fingers around the back and prod on the screen. Anyways the 7.7 looks pretty promising, hope they price it like galaxy tab.
The 7.7incher has enough bezel to hold it comfortably by both hands.
The note does not need thick bezel, its slightly bigger than regular phones, can be held comfortably by one hand or with around the device grip (compact camera grip). Looks more like a superphone from Samsung that was rumoured for a while than a tablet. The resolution is mouth watering.
Mustā¦ avoidā¦ temptationā¦ 
Samsung Really need to produce a new displayā¦ Super AMOLED and Super AMOLED+ displays wouldnāt take them any furtherā¦ They need to produce a display like Retina Display by using which they can squeeze in higer pixels per inchā¦ Samsung is really changing the defination of cellphones by releasing such huge handsetsā¦ Handsets are meant to be portable not tablet like size wiseā¦ they need to understand thisā¦ That was the only reason why Apple invented Retina display coz they wanted to produce a handset which should be portable (iPhone 4) and should have a higher resolution screen which should make browsing sites and watching videos a breezeā¦
Errrā¦ The device has a 285ppi screen. Anything above ~300ppi is considered retina display. So this is just 5%-8% off that mark. 5.3" WXGA screen is awesome. Not everyone would be satisfied with a tiny screen Many went for the Streak only because of the screen despite better h/w available at similar price points. If you dislike ~5" ones there are alway 4.3",4" devices with good specs from them too.

Weights ~40grams less than the streak. The width is ~3mm more whereas the height is ~6mm less. But this has a ~65% larger battery capacity compared to Streak 
So i am sure them would be many who might go for this handset.
By todays standards 3.5 inch screen on iphone 4 is very small for a high end device. I dont see any purpose of Retina display on such a small screen. I will anyday take 4.3 inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus screen than retina display on iphone4 and this 5.3 Super AMOLED HD display is really AWESOME.
Samsung is really producing top of the line products,catering to all the segments of the markets and its going to be very tough for Apple to match it.

Many people dont like Huge cellphonesā¦ Many people have sold their S2 because they didnāt find S2 portableā¦ I know that some crazy people are there in this world who would also go as far to buy 7 inch screen handset if Samsung would release oneā¦ Instead of making small cellphones with higher resolution screen they are manufacturing huge cellphones with higher resolution screenā¦ I think that day isnāt far when we would buy Cordless telephone sized cellphonesā¦
I would anyday buy a small cellphone like iPhone4 with higher resolution screen than a huge cellphone with lower resolution screen and which produces over saturated colorsā¦
Bigger screens are the need of the day in US. Two major carriers have launched 4.5" S2 instead of 4.27". Guess there would be some market analysis into it and they opted for larger screen since they had demand for the same. Might not suite the avg. sized Indianās paw but might suit someone from UK, USA. Again as i mentioned earlier this 5.3" slate has a ppi closer to the retina cutoff. So ppi isnt an issue.
Guess this would be the first of many with the WXGA screen. Hoping for more 4"-4.5" WXGA resolution phones. (Have used DHD. I might need a bit more real estate 4.5" would be ideal i guess)
Of course the Galaxy 7.7" too supports āTablet with support for GSM voice communicationā
Which means that if Apple happens to bump up the next gen iPhoneās screen size to 4" and keeps the resolution same as that of iPhone 4, it will no longer be a retina display.
@DA
See if they would release 4" to 4.3" 1280x800 Resolution cellphones then people would love to buy them but 5.3" is just hugeā¦ Some people wouldnāt be even able to touch an icon on the top left corner by using their thumb because of the huge screen sizeā¦ And some people wouldnāt like to have a huge cellphone in the pocket of their jeans or trouser coz it would become very hard for them to remove it from their pocketā¦ Maybe this is my perceptionā¦
iphone5 might have 3.7" screen.
iPhone 5 3.7-inch screen confirmed by the latest iOS beta? - GSMArena.com news
The huge screen is the only reason Iāve put off buying the SGS2. Iāve got decent sized hands and log fingers too but the big screen of the SGS2 isnāt comfortable at all for maneuverability with just 1 hand. It might be great for browsing if youāre indoors but if youāre commuting by trains or buses on these pothole ridden roads where youāre holding on to handles for dear-life, the small screen size proves very convenient.
As I said in the other thread this culture of high res displays in small size is very letās say concerned development as far as eye fatigue and accompanying symptoms are concerned. And retina display is just a marketing moniker. 2 point discrimination by human retina is not as small as retina display suggests. Itās quite larger actually. The problem is that larger resolution promotes squinting even though the text on display may be crystal clear. Thats why I have always advised my friends to get a tablet for any serious browsing. And apple keeps size of the display low to offer decent battery life and not to increase ppi.
