LG Electronics is providing a pair of 3.24-megapixel camera phones to SK Telecom (the LG-SD350) and KTF (the LG-KP2500) which use a mechanical shutter instead of a software technique to improve image quality. Also interesting is the fact that the handsets are clamshells, instead of candy bar phones — the last 3-megapixel phone we saw, the Samsung SPH-2300, has a more traditional camera shape, although it has an optical zoom, as well. I would hazard a guess that the new LG phones do not (although these days, it’s hard to tell).
Meanwhile, some of the phones in the US are starting to get 1-megapixel sensors. Wowsers!
