Biggest ‘full HD’ smartphone launch

Pantech Vega No 6The Vega No 6 has only been confirmed for sale in South Korea at this point

A South Korean firm has unveiled the biggest smartphone to date with a screen capable of showing 1080p high-definition video at full resolution.

Pantech’s Android-powered Vega No 6 features a 5.9in (15cm) display, which packs in 373 pixels per inch.

China’s Huawei recently unveiled a 6.1in handset, but it was only a 720p display.

They add to the so-called “phablet” category, as manufacturers test how big customers are willing to go.

When Samsung helped pioneered the format with its 5.3in Galaxy Note in 2011, many analysts suggested its size was too large to find favour.

Dell had previously released a 5in phone – the Streak 5 – but had ended up discontinuing the line to focus on a larger 7in tablet.

But the Note proved a success for the South Korean firm, leading Samsung to announce a larger successor last August.

In recent months other firms, including Sony, LG, HTC and ZTE, have unveiled smartphones with 5in and larger screens. More super-sized handsets are expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona which begins on 25 February.

Remote control

Technology consultancy Ovum suggested that demand for the format was proving particularly strong in emerging markets where most customers could not afford both a phone and a tablet.

“The Galaxy Note has been a proof-point that consumers will adopt the larger phone,” said the firm’s researcher Adam Leach.

HTC MiniHTC offers a remote for its 5in handset in China

“It’s an artificial barrier that a phone has to be below 5in and a tablet above 7in.

“There is a limit on what can be used with one hand, but there’s an economic point that if a device can be used like a tablet and a phone then it’s got more value, especially to people who can only afford to buy one device.”

The popularity of phablets is taking some manufacturers in unexpected directions.

Taiwan’s HTC recently announced it would bundle a bluetooth remote control with its 5in-screened Butterfly handset in China.

The add-on HTC Mini has its own screen and can be used to make calls or send messages when paired with the larger phone.

Burmese keyboardThere is no international standard for Burmese language symbols

Taiwanese smartphone company HTC has become the latest to enter the largely untapped Burmese market, as the country opens up to foreign firms.

HTC launched its smartphones in Burma, which is also known as Myanmar, on Monday.

The phones will come with a Burmese language on-screen keyboard, which the company says is the most advanced available.

Burma has one of the lowest mobile phone ownership levels in the world.

The country has become one of the hottest frontier markets after its government started implementing reforms to open up the economy, ending decades of military rule.

However, Burma’s telecommunications sector remains underdeveloped, with only two carriers in the country.

The government has been cutting the high price of Sim cards, but they remain unaffordable for most of the population.

The World Bank estimated that in 2011, only 3% of the population had a mobile phone.

No agreement on symbols

HTC is not the first smartphone maker to try to tap into the Burmese market. Samsung and Huawei lead the market with their low-cost devices.

However, HTC is hoping to attract consumers with what it calls one of the most advanced Burmese language keyboards in the country.

“My aspiration is to design innovative smartphones that offer full compatibility with the Myanmar language, so that people in Myanmar can enjoy enhanced communications simply and easily,” said Mr Chou, who was born and raised in Burma.

Unlike other South East Asian languages, no international standard for language symbols has been agreed upon, making it difficult to integrate into software.

HTC says that its keyboard will be one of the first to offer predictive text capability and smart search functionality in the Burmese language.

Apple denied Samsung sales ban

Apple and Samsung phonesApple and Samsung have been involved in a legal battles in a number of countries

A US judge has rejected Apple’s plea to ban sales of Samsung’s smartphones that violate its patents.

Apple had requested the ban after a jury ruled earlier this year that some Samsung products had infringed Apple’s patents.

Samsung was also ordered to pay $1.05bn (£650m) in damages, a ruling the South Korean firm has since challenged.

However, the judge said there was not enough evidence that the infringed patents had hurt Apple’s US sales.

“The phones at issue in this case contain a broad range of features, only a small fraction of which are covered by Apple’s patents,” District Judge Lucy Koh said.

“Though Apple does have some interest in retaining certain features as exclusive to Apple, it does not follow that entire products must be forever banned from the market because they incorporate, among their myriad features, a few narrow protected functions.”

Losing steam?

Since winning $1.05bn damages in August this year, Apple has suffered setbacks in its various legal clashes with rivals.

Last month, Apple was asked to disclose the details of its patent-sharing deal with HTC to Samsung.

It has also lost an appeal against a UK ruling that Samsung had not infringed its design rights.

The US technology firm was also asked by a UK High Court to publish a statement on its website admitting that Samsung had not infringed its designs.

Meanwhile, sales bans sought by Apple against Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus phone and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer in the US were also lifted in October.

In November, a judge in the US dismissed a case brought by Apple alleging that Google’s Motorola unit was seeking excessive royalty payments for patents.

“The momentum that Apple had gained in the wake of the big billion dollar judgement seems to be losing its steam,” Manoj Menon, managing director at consulting firm Frost Sullivan told the BBC.

“It appears that Apple will find it increasingly difficult to convince courts around the world that it has been hurt by alleged patent infringements.”

Patent sharing

The smartphone market has seen tremendous growth over the past few years and Apple and Samsung have emerged as two of the biggest players in the sector.

The success of Apple’s iPhone has been a key driver of its growth, while Samsung has reported record quarterly profits helped by the popularity of its Galaxy range of smartphones.

However, as their market share has increased, so has the intensity of their legal battles with each other.

HTC phoneApple and HTC have signed a licence agreement that ended their legal battle

The two firms have filed legal cases against each other in more than 10 countries, each accusing the other of violating its patents.

However, analysts said that it was time the two companies sat down together and agreed on an amicable solution to their tussles – a move that has also been suggested previously by a judge in the US.

Mr Menon of Frost Sullivan said that as manufacturers look to develop even more advanced phones, they will eventually need to use technologies, the patents for which may not belong to them.

“What we are seeing is a convergence of different technologies into one device,” he said.

He explained that for innovation to continue in the sector it was key that various companies agreed to licensing terms for their patents.

Last month, Apple agreed such a deal with Taiwanese phone-maker HTC as it signed a 10-year licence agreement that ended their legal battle over patents.
