Back in May, Samsung announced the company was planing on bringing a notebook display to market with a resolution even greater than Apple's Retina devices. Today, Samsung has officially announced the first application of the panel, used in the new ATIV Q. Boasting a 3200 x 1800 qHD+ display, the hybrid is capable of running both Android and Windows 8, reports Engadget.
During an event in London on Thursday, Samsung showed off the ATIV Q, which is capable of use in four setups: tablet, typing, stand, and writing. The 13.3-inch screen is apparently setup with a non-reflective glass for outside use, according to Samsung, and offers an up to 178 degree viewing angle. The hybrid ATIV Q also takes advantage of S Pen support.
The ATIV Q runs on an Intel Core i5 Haswell processor and weighs 2.84 pounds. Switching between the Android Jelly Bean or Windows 8 operating systems does not require a reboot of the ATIV Q, you only need to press the start button. While Samsung's new hybrid will allegedly launch sometime later this year, there's no word yet on pricing.
