The Samsung U700 Gleam is a glossy clamshell that is targeted as a stylish model but doesn't lack multimedia functionality. On the outside it has 2-megapixel camera, color external display and music dedicated keys while on the inside is the QVGA display. It will come with new flash themes that will personalise the interface to be more interesting than the standard red Verizon one.

Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.
