8 megapixel cameraphone with GPS from Samsung

Samsung M8800 Touchscreen 8MP Cameraphone
Yup!  You read it right.  Albeit this is not the first 8 megapixel phone from Samsung, the news of Samsung’s 8 megapixel M8800 Bresson aka Pixon made mobile phone lovers take notice when it was announced on September 25th, 2008. As a matter of fact, Pixon is relatively different when compared to the first 8 megapixel Samsung i8510 INNOV8.  The Pixon has no keyboard but instead features a 3.2 inch touch screen display with an on-screen keyboard.  The Pixon is not a smartphone, which probably will irritate some people.  Nevertheless, lacking the features of a smartphone, Samsung has definitely found a way to somehow to make up for this by providing rather amazing specs for a non-smartphone.

Among the most outstanding specs are, of course, its impressive 3.2 inch touch screen display, auto-focusing camera that is equipped with face recognition and smile as well as blink detection. Its 8 megapixel camera also has an ASR (advanced shake reduction) feature.  The camera can also do video and records at two resolutions, 720x480 and 640x480 pixels, at 30 fps.  Apart from its great camera specifications, it is also equipped with a built-in GPS receiver (a big plus for you travelers out there!), FM Radio and additional memory capacity may also be added with a microSD card.  Before you profess your love for this phone, just know that there is no WiFi in this device.

It is rumored to be shipping as early as November 10, 2008 and the starting price would be about $800 (US).

  • This phone is brilliant. I love the 8MP camera and the touchscreen interface. I know there is no physical qwerty keyboard but the touchscreen is very easy to use. Unfortunately there is no WiFi, which is very disappointing.
