When High-Definition (HD) technology first appeared in the early 2000s, TVs were one of the few ways to experience the technology. Fast transmission speeds put pictures on TV screens quicker and enhanced detail in movies, sports broadcasts and television shows. Now, HD technology is being used in mobile devices and is changing the way people experience mobile devices.

HD-quality screens help bring video to life. Capturing HD video on smartphones and tablets allows users to share special moments with others via email. It also allows small business owners to share high-quality video during presentations from their devices. 

New products, such as the DROID RAZR HD and the DROID RAZR MAXX HD, offer HD screens to display rich color and detail. Combined with 4G LTE speeds and apps like viewdini, they are ideal smartphones for watching movies, television shows and other video content.

In addition to enhancing entertainment, HD screens are helping doctors explore images in ways never before possible. HD tablets help physicians review x-rays, CT scans or other images, leading to more accurate diagnoses and treatments. The clarity of HD images coupled with 4G LTE speed to quickly transmit and receive them, provide a greater level of patient care.

From watching and capturing video to viewing X-Rays to playing games, HD technology is shaping mobile technology. But, it’s the possible applications in the future that are truly exciting.
