Samsung Continuum - First Android phone with dual touchscreens?


   On the 8th of November Samsung officially confirmed the dual touchscreen Continuum for Verizon. Samsung billed it as the "first phone with a dedicated ticker display," referring to the secondary 1.8-inch color screen below the capacitive touch buttons. As it turns out now. that was all just a marketing strategy and the whole front facing surface of the device is one single large 4 inch display. But it is actually an innovative idea as the four Android buttons are fixed in the screen and the smaller display portion turns on separately to show you the new emails and messages without the whole battery hogging screen being turned on with potential savings on the battery life. Either way, you get a gorgeous AMOLED display (the best display in the market, right next to Apple iPhone's Retina Display) and many other features.
