Apple's next-gen iPhone could be unchanged in physical design but include changes relating to speed, memory and the camera.
At least that's according an unnamed employee at Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn, who claims to have used prototypes of the handset.

Cost remains a key factor in ensuring LCD is the display of choice for most handsets.
But a report from ABI Research suggests a number of new and not-so-new display technologies are vying for a chunk of LCD’s vast market share.

If our hunches are correct, Samsung's snazzy little SCH-W690 flip phone is actually destined for arrival in the US as well, but at least for now, we're forced to be content with a South Korean debut. Reportedly, the handset packs a swank 2.6-inch AMOLED display (320 x 240) underneath the classic black (or silver) exterior, and it also touts GSM / HSDPA connectivity, GPS, a 1.5-inch external OLED, multimedia player, Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera and an 800mAh battery. There's no mention of price just yet, but we'd expect to pay a small premium for the pixels.

Samsung's AMOLED-packin' SCH-W690 clamshell heads for South Korea originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:20:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
