    Samsung's M8800 Pixon Cellphone Hits, With 8-Megapixel Autofocus Camera

    This is Samsung's promo video for the upcoming M8800 cellphone (aka Pixon) with 8-megapixel camera. In fact it looks very much like a compact camera from the rear, and its 3.2-inch screen bears the same TouchWiz interface as the Omnia. That screen is a 400 x 240 pixel touchscreen with touch keyboard and handwriting recognition, and the phone has AGPS, accelerometer and FM radio. Read on for hands-on photos and full specs.


    • Quad-band GSM, tri-band HSDPA
    • 107.9x54.6x14.9mm, 110 g
    • 3.2-inch touch screen display (240 x 400 pixels)
    • 8 megapixel camera, auto focus, face recognition with smile detection and blink detection, WDR (wide dynamic range), ASR (advanced shake reduction), GPS geotagging, ISO 1600, WVGA (720x480 pixels) and VGA (640 x 480 pixels) @30fps video recording
    • Built-in GPS receiver
    • Accelerometer
    • DivX playback
    • FM radio with RDS
    • microSD card slot
    • Bluetooth
    • Landscape virtual QWERTY keyboard
    • Handwriting recognition
    • ShoZu integration - direct image and video upload

    Interestingly, there's no mention of Wi-Fi in that list of specs. It'll be out early November (in Russia, at least) for around $800. [ via GSMArena]
