Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology (variant from AMOLED) mainly for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones (see the list below for examples) . One of the main differences from other display technologies is that the layer that detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top.

Compared with the first-generation AMOLED, some of the Super AMOLED advantages are brighter screens, less sunlight reflection and reduced power consumption.[1][2]

Super AMOLED Plus

Super AMOLED Plus, first introduced with the Samsung Infuse 4G and Samsung Galaxy S II series smartphones, is a further development where the PenTile RGBG pixel matrix is replaced with a common RGB subpixels arrangement, going from eight to twelve subpixels in a group, resulting in finer details. The screen technology is also brighter, thinner and 18% more energy efficient. [3]

HD Super AMOLED

HD Super AMOLED is a new Super AMOLED type display from Samsung featuring 720p HD (1280 x 720) resolution. The first device to use a Super AMOLED HD is the Galaxy Nexus: the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phone with a 4.65" display. The phone (and the display) was officially announced in October, 2011, and will be released in November, 2011.[4] The higher resolution and dpi were made possible due to a move from the Fine-Metal-Mask (FMM) to laser-induced thermal imaging (LITI) printing process[5] .
