Samsung Omnia Orientation Sensor?
According to PhoneMag, the Samsung Omnia has an Orientation Sensor that we’re dying to learn more about. Here is the actual quote that they picked up from CNET Asia:
“an orientation sensor is built into the OMNIA i900. When rotated, it does this fancy transition whereby the display shrinks and expands back to fill the screen in a different orientation. The 240 x 400 display does seem a little weird, but is not unheard of–we’ve seen it in the ASUS M930’s internal display. It makes sense, too, if you are to use it as a media player because the aspect ratio is much closer to the 16:9 aspect ratio commonly seen in movie files. To that end, the i900 also comes with a media application that supports DivX and Xvid out of the box.”
This does indeed sound like the featured display of the iPhone and HTC Diamond that have been one of its most loved and unique characteristics. Hopefully, Samsung has done as great of a job as Apple and HTC at implementing it.
I guess we’ll have to wait until the first Samsung Omnia Video demo comes along to really know if thats true. Sure, we could read a review about it, but this is something you’ve got to see for yourself.
