Samsung introduces 1GHz processor, 5.0 megapixel sensor and embedded capacitive touch display drivers for smartphones

Samsung has introduced several new technologies for smartphone and high-end devices that increase performance while decreasing power consumption and size at the Samsung Mobile Solutions Forum in Taipei, Taiwan.

The company showed off two new 1GHz ARM CORTEX A8-based processors, the S5PC110 for smartphones and the S5PV210 for netbooks, which increase battery life and performance over existing models. Both are equipped with 3D graphics engines, 1080p HD codecs, and HDMI output. To accompany the processor, Samsung showed off low power consumption 512Mb PRAM memory, which extends battery life by over 20 percent according to the company.

Samsung also debuted the S5K4EA 5.0 megapixel image sensor, which features 1.4 micron pixel technology that brightens shadows and reduces blur in unsteady shots. The camera sensor is also capable of 30fps video capture at full HD 1080p resolution.

Last, Samsung announced Touch Embedded DDI technology, a chip that integrates capacitive touch into a mobile display driver, which allows for a slimmer form factor, lowered power consumption, and reduced cost.

Samsung will begin showing customer samples of some of the new technology in December. [via EngadgetMobile]
