Samsung's Next Tablet to have Retina-Beating Display

Samsung is developing an 11.6-inch tablet with a 2560x1600 pixel display, which might put the display of Apple's next generation iPad to shame.

The tablet will reportedly run Android 4.0 with a 2 GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU, and it's likely to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February 2012.

This latest rumor goes hand in hand with rumors of Apple's next generation iPad. Its A6 CPU will reportedly be very similar to the one in Samsung's upcoming tablet.

As far as display resolution goes, the iPad 3 is rumored to have a 2048 x 1536 display, which would make Samsung's rumored tablet superior in terms of pixel density.

For comparison, the pixel density in iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S Retina display is 326 pixels per inch on a 3.5 inch screen. It's been matched by a few competitors - namely the HTC Rezound and the LG Optimus LTE - but it happened over a year after iPhone 4 first hit the market.

If the rumors are true, unlike the iPhone 4 at its launch, Apple's next-gen iPad might not have the distinction of having the most advanced display on the market.
