Recently, a lot of new smart phones have hit the market that if you've seen one you would think you have seen them all. Until that next big new tech comes along, what can you possibly do to a phone that really makes it stand out? If you hear that a new smart phone is just released, you would immediately think of the features of every smart phone out there - Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, built-in sensors, and a full range of apps. The mere notion of a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor was once exhilarating. Today, you would not even recognize what it is. And what of all these new phones hitting the market for the holidays? Somehow it is just spinning the same configuration to create an entirely "new smart phone".
That's what we though about all the new smart phones in the market, at least until news of the all-new Samsung Continuum leaked. Now, what Samsung has changed up for this Continuum phone is give it a second OLED screen that operates as a ticker; think stock ticker or ESPN ticker. As soon as the device is held, that portion will be turned on automatically. All of the other power-consuming features remain off. While it's on, the ticker will constantly steam different channels of information: RSS, twits, stock information, sport scores, you name it. You decide what it streams.
Hardware wise, the Continuum boasts a 1 GHz Hummingbird CPU, 348 MB of RAM, 512 MB of ROM, 2 GB of on-board flash storage, and a preloaded 8 GB microSD card. The Continuum features a 480 by 800 resolution in a 3.4 inch screen. The second display will be using a 1.8-inch screen with a 96 by 480 resolution. It also has a 5MP built-in camera that comes with a LED flash and records a video at 720p. The smart phone runs off of the Android 2.1, has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G mobile, and it serves as a hotspot for up to five devices.
