Samsung is launching an 8.0-megapixel camera phone Europe and Asia, allowing people to use touch screen features for a more camera-like feel.
Korea-based Samsung said the Pixon is its slimmest 8.0-megapixel camera phone yet, measuring just 13.8mm. It features a 16x digital zoom, auto-focus, fast-shutter, face detection and geo-tagging and comes with a 3.2-inch full-touch screen and integrated Photo Browser for photo sharing and viewing.
Samsung announced a 10-megapixel camera phone in late 2006.
"For the first time you will have a camera on your phone capable of delivering the quality of image of a regular camera," said Geesung Choi, President of the Samsung. "The big benefit is not just the ease with which people will now be able to capture and share camera-phone shots, but the quality of those shots when taken."
The Samsung Pixon will be available first in France in mid-October and soon to be available in most of European countries and Asian countries.
