RIM Publishes Display Specs, Simulators for Bold 9790, Curve 9380

You are in a BlackBerry Post

Last month, we saw two unreleased BlackBerry handsets show up in the BlackBerry App World developer portal. The Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 have yet to be formally announced by RIM, even though we've been able to learn a good deal about what to expect from them. Today, RIM posted some additional specs for the pair on its Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog.

It's unusual for unannounced smartphones to be so casually referred-to by their manufacturers, but apparently RIM has no problem letting people know about this pair. This time around, it wanted to alert developers to the display characteristics of the phones, including screen size and pixel density. The company has also updated its simulation tools to support these two models.

Both BlackBerrys share a 360 x 480 resolution, but their differing display sizes result in a big swing in pixel density, from 189ppi with the Curve 9380 up to 245ppi on the Bold 9790 with its 2.44-inch screen.

The 9790 is more or less Bold 9900 hardware, supposed to include a 1.2GHz CPU and NFC support. The 9380 goes the full-touch route, having no hardware QWERTY keyboard (and explaining the need for a larger display), and likely containing an 800MHz chip.

LG Introduces True HD IPS Display, Tops AMOLED Says Report

You might remember the recently launched (in Korea) LG Optimus LTE, if not for the fast network speeds but because of that 4.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 resolution. LG today introduced a new standard in mobile display unveiling the "True HD IPS" screen.

Made in collaboration with its sister company, LG Display, the True HD IPS display "offers advanced resolution, brightness and clarity and shows colors in their most natural tones, as they were meant to be seen." Intertek -- an international product testing and certification agency -- recently published a report according to which IPS technology was superior to AMOLED when it comes to color accuracy, brightness, battery efficiency and performance.

The LG True IPS HD display brings 1280 x 720 HD resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio, sharper and crisper text thanks to 329 ppi, true natural colors with automatic color adjustment.

The official Press Release doesn't make an exact indication as per which AMOLED and IPS screens were tested but Intertek used the LG True IPS HD screen in comparison with Samsung's state-of-the art Super AMOLED Plus screen. The test found that the IPS screen had three times more color accuracy than the AMOLED one and consumed 624mW of power compared to 1,130mw on AMOLED. Now if only these excellent IPS screens (also the one on the iPhone 4) could offer real/true blacks like Super AMOLEDs...

LG LU6200 Spotted In The Wild, Shows Off 720p HD Display

You are in an Android Post

The LG LU6200 we've been hearing about last week, with its 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU and LTE support has been spotted in the wild, showing off that 720p HD display it has.

As you can see, the pictures are not very telling about the images the screen reproduces. On paper though, the display is an AH-IPS LCD one with HD resolution of 720 x 1280. With its 4.5-inches in diagonal, it accounts for a 329ppi density, adding to the other high-end internals, such as an eight-megapixel main camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facer, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, plus the usual suspects like DLNA, MHL, and WiFi Direct.
