Samsung Pixon 12 M8910: Snap-happy 12-megapixel touch-screen phone
According to Akihabara News, the M8910 will arrive in Europe in June. It will boast a resolution bump from the original 8-megapixel Samsung Pixon, which some users reckoned was basically an 8-megapixel Tocco.
Less than a week after the Sony Ericsson Satio officially launched as the first 12-megapixel phone, Samsung has announced the equally specced Pixon 12 M8910.
According to Akihabara News, the M8910 will arrive in Europe in June. It will boast a resolution bump from the original 8-megapixel Samsung Pixon, which some users reckoned was basically an 8-megapixel Tocco.
The M8910 features a 3.1-inch AMOLED touch screen. Camera functions include touch-based focus, allowing you to tap on the screen to select what you want to focus on. Samsung describes a fast-saving feature, which is designed to allow you to take the next picture quickly rather than waiting the full amount of time for the phone's brain to wrestle with each dozen-megapixel image.
It also includes a 28mm wide-angle lens and Xenon flash. In addition to stills, the M8910 shoots 720x480-pixel video at 30 frames per second. Which all sounds great, but we'll wait until we've had a hands-on and seen some test shots before we get really excited--after all, there's still the matter of that tiny little phone-size image sensor.
With HSPA and built-in Wi-Fi, you'll get instant upload to Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, and the like. According to reports, it'll pack quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band UMTS/HSPA, Bluetooth and GPS.
