Mobile phone maker Samsung announced on Wednesday the upcoming series of handsets that would hit the US market with a Samsung AMOLED screen on board. Among the new devices we can count the Samsung Behold II and Samsung Moment, both of which have been already announced to come with Google's Android operating system, as well as Samsung Impression and Samsung Rogue, two phones that were introduced earlier this year.

The AMOLED technology that Samsung uses for the screens on these devices offers support for higher resolution, and can deliver best-in-class screen clarity whether indoors or outdoors. Users can benefit from true colors and higher contrast ratio, no matter the actions they are performing on the device. At the same time, the technology also offers support for thinner form factors and for important battery life savings.

“Samsung Mobile’s AMOLED screens are a differentiator in our mobile phones that we’re proud to continue featuring in our U.S. portfolio,” said Omar Khan, senior vice president of Product Management and Strategy for Samsung Mobile. “The bright, vivid colors and thinner form factor take the user’s mobile experience to the next level.”

Samsung Moment sports a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, a slide-out tactile QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth technology, an 800 Mhz processor, the Android platform with Google, and support for a wide range of services, including Google Search, Maps, Gmail and YouTube. Samsung Behold II comes as a full touchscreen phone, boasting Samsung's TouchWiz user interface, Wi-Fi, a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and up to 16GB of external memory.

The Samsung Impression, which is exclusively available in the US via AT&T, was the first device in the country to sport an AMOLED display (3.2-inch). A full QWERTY keyboard, 3.0-megapixel photo snapper with video recording, and a slim design are only some of the phone's specs. As for the Samsung Rogue, it comes with a slide-out, four-row QWERTY keyboard, as well as with integration with social networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube and Photobucket.
