Copy Samsung M8800 Pixon On the market now

The Samsung M8800 Pixon is a camera phone that’s been designed from the ground up to be the best camera phone on the market. Not content with fitting it with a huge 8 megapixel, Samsung have also equipped the Pixon with GPS, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, DivX support, a fantastic screen, an upgraded version of their TouchWiz touchscreen user interface, and more camera wizzardry than you knew existed.

The Samsung Pixon’s competitors
With so many features in the Pixon, you’d expect it to be a bit bulky, but not a bit of it. The pixon is just 13.8mm thin, which compares favourably with the Nokia N96 (18mm) and the Sony Ericsson idou(18.5mm), both of which will be the Pixon’s main competitors.

The Pixon is a touchscreen phone with no stylus or keys except for the usual call connect/disconnect and a cursor button. The phone’s front is dominated by a huge 3.2″ screen that can display 262,000 colours (16 million would have been better, but hey, you can’t have everything!)

Samsung Pixon Camera
The camera is capable of taking impressively high quality movies – 30 fps D1 (720 x 480) video capture – with a 120 fps (QGVA) slow motion video capture option for at-home remakes of the 6 Million Dollar Man – plus Face Detection, Smile Shot, Face Link (face tagging) and Photo memo.

• 8-megapixel camera with Auto focus
• Digital zoom (X16)
• Dual Power LED Flash
• ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction)
• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
• Face Detection, Smile Shot, Face Link (face tagging)
• Geo-tagging, Auto Panorama Shot, Photo memo
• Photo Browser (Accelerometer Sensor, Tilt and flip
• Sorting by Face/Time/Color/Folder)

The Dual Power LED Flash is the same type as that used by the N96. It’s not quite as powerful as a Xenon flash, but it doesn’t drain the battery as much either, and it’s quicker to recharge, meaning you can continue taking photos in low light after your initial snap.

Face detection, smile shot and Face Link are innovative features that help you take better pictures of people. Face detection automatically focuses on a person’s face; Smile Shot goes one better and focuses on their smile; and Face Link lets you tag a face with the person’s name, so you can search through your photos by their face and name.

Samsung Pixon Video camera
You can record full frame video with the Pixon at DVD quality (30fps at 720 x 480), or an incredible 120fps at QVGA picture size, which enables you to take slow motion pictures at speeds four times slower than real life.

The Pixon also supports a wide range of video formats, including MPEG4, WMV, DivX, and XviD, letting you watch videos no matter what format they’re encoded in (well, apart from those encoded in formats it doesn’t support!)

Unbelievably, the Pixon also comes with 5.1 Surround Sound! Not entirely sure how this works on something the size of a phone, but it certainly sounds impressive.

Samsung Pixon’s other features
There’s support for MPEG4, WMV, DivX and XviD video playback and a ‘Fast Shutter’, all of which makes the M8800 a real rival for a standalone camera apart from one detail – instead of a proper optical zoom, the camera only comes with a 16x digital zoom. And, as you know, digital zooms are rubbish compared to optical ones.

Ah right – we almost forgot – it’s a Quad Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900)/GPRS/EDGE phone too, with WCDMA 2100/HSDPA 7.2 Mbps connectivity with a built in FM Radio with RDS.

The front of the keypad-less unit is dominated by a 3.2″ 240 × 400 262K colour WQVGA TFT display, and inside lurks a music player supporting MP3, AAC, e-AAC+, e-AAC+, WMA audio formats.

For your audio pleasure, there’s SRS (Surround Sound System) Virtual 5.1CH, DNSe (Digital Natural Sound engine) with Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 for shuffling files on and off the phone. 

Samsung’s new Pixon M8800 phone camera is scheduled for a France release around the middle of October with Europe and Asia following sometime after. as for pricing, we can only offer a Gaelic shrug.
