Samsung is also claiming that thanks to new material on the AMOLED screen, the new range of phones will be able to offer 25 percent power saving. It is noteworthy, that most smartphone manufacturers such as HTC, Huawei, Sony et al have already announced their full-HD contenders, so it is likely that Samsung's next flagship will too sport the same.
