Samsung Gingerbread droid with 4.5-inch screen, 1080p video? - GSMArena.com news
Rumors can never be fully trusted but they often talk of phones that make geeks drool. The unnamed Samsung that entered rumorland today offers 1080p video recording, 4.5-inch display and 1.2GHz processor - or so the story goes.
Leaked slides, allegedly from Samsung, show off what is supposed to be their Android flagship for 2011 - and it's Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The rest of the specs sound too good to be true, so take them with a bucket of salt.
The screen is listed as both 4.3 inches and 4.5 inches "sAMOLED 2". One of these numbers is wrong, but which one? We did hear about a new 4.5" SuperAMOLED screen, however the resolutions don't match. The unnamed Samsung flagship supposedly has WVGA resolution, while the 4.5" prototype sports WSVGA (1024x600). WSVGA should be supported by Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Googleheads
On a spring day you can find your way
to a little flower garden where the Googleheads play
You know they’re there by the clothes they wear
And their Googlehead faces and their Googlehead hair.
‘Cause they’re the Googleheads
They shake their doodleheads
They’re the goo-ga-goo-ga-goo-gah Googleheads.
