subject: Make You Proud Mobile Phone Samsung W880 [print this page] I thought the megapixel race was over! Guess not, what with Samsung showing off, for the very first time, the Samsung W880 , the world's first cellphone with a 12-megapixel camera. Because how many times have you said to yourself, "Man, I want to take a photo of this unusual drink, but only have the iPhone's rubbish camera"? The odd thing is that the phone really does look like the typical digital camera on one side, and a standard issue touchscreen phone on the other side. Perhaps the word "odd" didn't quite capture what I meant to convey, but it's far too late now to make any corrections. As for the specs: 3.3-inch AMOLED (!) display with an 800480 resolution; 4GB of built-in storage; T-DMB (in the Korean version, at leastexpect the international version to ship with Wi-Fi and GPS); and, of course, the built-in 12-megapixel camera, with 3x optical zoom and the ability to record 720p video. Samsung W880 is a damn beefy phone. Considering Samsung just announced this phone, don't expect to see it in your neck of the woods anytime soon. Sorry. You probably remember theSamsung G89 which leaked several months ago. While it's still in Rumorlandia, Samsung have just announced its Korean counterpart - the Samsung W880 or Anycall AMOLED 12M as its mundane name goes. Yes, it's a silly name, we know, but South Korea is a market that's entirely different from Europe or the Americas. The W880 AMOLED 12M is the world's first 12 megapixel camera phone with 3x optical zoom. Despite being mainly a CDMA mobile phone, the W880 will sport tri-band GSM connectivity and 3G connectivity (WCDMA 2100). But don't just open champagne yet as the W880 will remain exclusive for the South Korean market and the GSM radio will be used for roaming purposes only. The Samsung W880 is not a smart phone, but boasts a 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 4GB internal memory, 12 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and variable aperture, xenon and power LED flashes, video recording, T-DMB TV tuner, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, microUSB connectivity and 1100mAh Li-Ion battery. We know for sure that the long-awaited European version will swap the T-DMB TV tuner for the more practical Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity. TheSamsung Battery is also in good quality. Check out that shot for reference. Another nice surprise we have for you today, is that we managed to grab a pre-release sample of the S. Samsung W880 and we are seriously impressed by its imaging prowess. If you like this special mobile phone, go to our website to get one. Joanne-myluxphone Article from: www.myluxphone.com
