Samsung today showcased many new technologies designed to increase performance while decreasing power consumption in smartphones and high-end multimedia devices at Samsung Mobile Solutions Forum in Taipei, Taiwan. The company introduced two new ARM Cortex A8 processors, 5-megapixel camera and touchscreens with Embedded DDI technology.

Both the new ARM Cortex A8 processors run at 1GHz, but S5PC110 chip is designed for smartphones with its lower power requirement, whereas S5PV210 is designed to be used in netbooks and it has slightly higher power requirement.  Both the processors use Samsung’s new low power consuming 512Mb PRAM memory and are equipped with 3D graphics engines capable of 1080p HD video playback and recording. Samsung says that by using the new processors in combination with the new PRAM battery life can be improved by over 20 percent.

Samsung also announced 5-megapixel camera sensor S5K4EA for smartphones that uses 1.4-micron pixel technology making the size of the sensor smaller. Even though, the sensor is smaller in size it is designed to brighten shadows, reduce blur in shots and record full HD 1080p video at 30fps.

Along with the camera sensor and new processors, Samsung also launched displays with Touch Embedded DDI technology for smartphones. The new technology uses a chip to integrate capacitive touch directly into the display panel reducing size, power consumption and cost. Samsung will start sampling the new parts by end of this year and we should see products based on these parts in first half of 2010.
