Samsung 2560 x 1600 screen

We’ve seen plenty of indications that Android tablet makers are readying new devices with 10 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel displays. But BGR reports Samsung may be preparing to go a step further by launching a tablet with an 11.6 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel display.

That would give the Samsung tablet a pixel density similar to the Retina displays found on the latest iPhone and iPod touch models. Apple is also rumored to be preparing an iPad with a Retina display.

According to BGR’s sources, the new Samsung tablet will be about the same size as a Galaxy Tab 10.1, but it will have a thinner bezel around the screen to make room for the larger display. The tablet is also rumored to have a 2 GHz Samsung Exynos dual core processor.

Samsung has been showing off a 2560 x 1600 pixel 10 inch display for a few months, so it’s certainly possible that the company could be preparing a tablet with a high resolution screen. And when the company introduced the Exynos 5250 chip a few weeks ago, Samsung made it clear that it would support screen resolutions as high as… you guessed it, 2560 x 1600 pixels.

  1. Now let’s get it with a pressure sensitive digitiser and a pen (or is that pressure sensitive pen and digitiser?) and we’ll have something that artists would love.

  2. It all sounds good to me as long as price and battery life are not affected badly.

  3. I think the people at Samsung talk in their sleep, saying “I want to be like Apple… I want to be like Apple…”

    1. Yeah because Apple is the only company ever to put in high pixel density screens? Oh and they also have an 11.6in tablet, can’t forget that.

      How does siri work with Apple’s **** in your mouth?
