Samsung’s next generation Galaxy S device going to have 1080p display!
There’s not been too much rumors about Samsung’s next generation Galaxy S device, but there’s been a lot of speculation from the fans. Now there’s a user agent profile for a SCH-i337, a Samsung manufactured handset boasting 1080p Full HD display. The profile won’t give us much details except it’s name i337 and importantly the screen size that is 1,920-by-1080. Samsung showed their curved AMOLED displays at CES, but most likely we can expect to see those at later date. It’s not sure yet that this is next generation Galaxy S device, but we sure hope that Samsung adds 1080p display to it. Check out more info at the source link after the break.

Sony developing 6.44-inch device?!
Bigger is better?! It seems to be the trend in tech nowdays, as many mobile device manufacturers are developing bigger and better smartphones/phablets. Recently it was rumored that Samsung is going to launch 6.3-inch Galaxy Note smartphone, which seems to be huge. Huawei also announced Ascend Mate, 6.1-inch smartphone. Now it’s believed that Sony is developing 6.44-inch 1080p smartphone/tablet device. Photo, that you can see above, looks like a traditional production line leak, completed with sterile white cloves. It’s believed that the screen ratio is 16:9, and the lack of physical buttons indicates that it will be android device. If this upcoming Sony device is already started to roll off production lines, chances are that we are going to see the device in MWC this February.
