The mobile display division of Samsung (SMD) announced today in Korea, that its new line of AMOLED panel production is ready to supply the high market demand that exists today, this mainly due to the million units sold Samsung S2 Galaxy and high demand from manufacturers for this type of display. This new line belongs to the 5.5 generation Samsung panels and aims to soon have two production lines.

The size of this new panel is 1300 × 1500 mm instead of 730 x 920 mm 4.5g of the previous generation, allowing manufacturers to produce devices with larger screens, while maintaining image quality.

Samsung now controls almost 100 percent of the production of this type of display is expected that this year the AMOLED market to triple over last year.

When a few months ago Samsung introduced at Mobile World Congress its new 10-inch tablet no one could foresee that soon after launch a very similar model with a few distinguishing characteristics.

The reason for this change was recognized by Samsung, Apple launched the iPhone 2 , so that the Korean company decided to redesign the device and had not yet gone on sale, while another had begun to be manufactured.

Samsung redesigned slightly tablet resulting in two types. The first went ahead with the suffix V because it would be Vodafone which will market it. The second was the original name.

Dimensions

The model’s dimensions are 246.2 x Vodafone 170.4 x 10.9 mm and weighs 600 grams, while the new model are 256.6 x 172.9 x 8.6 mm and weighs 595 grams. This shows that the thickness was one of the main reasons for the redesign, because the weight is virtually the same.
Interface

The version of Vodafone does not have a custom interface, something that appeals to many users of Android, while the version without the V has a layer, the Touchwiz known that, although not as intrusive as in the mobile, it is true that changes aspect of Android and may delay updates.

Camera

But the strangest was the change of the camera, because instead of maintaining the same Samsung chose to change the rear of the 8 MP resolution 3264 × 2448 pixels version of Vodafone to give 3.15 MP 2048 × 1536 pixels of the new model.

In addition, the tablet Vodafone can record Full HD at 1080p while the version without the V record at 720p.

Conclusion

Price aside, and considering the technical characteristics of the devices, it seems that except the thickness, Vodafone version has better benefits and they do not have any interfaces added.
