Last year Toshiba released their first mobile phone handset in an attempt to follow fellow computer manufacturers Apple and Acer into the world of smartphones. The TG01 went down a huge success due to its massive 4.1″ screen and for being the first mobile phone to feature the Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor. While there were a lot of firsts for the TG01, the fact that it was a first for Toshiba meant that there were many teething problems that needed ironing out.
Now almost a year later and Toshiba has announced some new handsets to join the TG01 in its catalogue of mobile phones. The TG02 is no doubt the main successor to the TG01, picking up where it left off and ironing out the problems some encountered with it, such as the less-than-desirable responsiveness on the screen. The TG02 is essentially what the TG01 should have been originally. The K01 on the other hand is a new device entirely, opting for a sophisticated sliding design with full QWERTY keyboard and sexy AMOLED screen.
Screen Quality
The TFT screen employed on the TG02 is very much the same as the one found on the TG02 albeit with the much more responsive capacitive touch sensitive technology (compared to the TG01’s resistive). The screen resolution is still set at a very high WVGA (480 x 800) and the screen itself is still a very spacious 4.1″. The colour depth has taken a tumble from 256k to 65k although this is completely unnoticeable as the TG01 was effectively running on 65k colours anyway.
Toshiba K01The K01 enjoys the same screen specifications as the TG02 including the WVGA (480 x 800) resolution, 65k colour depth, 4.1″ diagonal size and capacitive touch sensitivity. The key difference for the K01 is that it uses the much brighter and more vibrant AMOLED screen technology (compared to the TG01’s fairly standard TFT screen).
