The 8 megapixel full touchscreen Samsung M8800 seems to have been announced today - rather quietly in fact. This is the second 8 megapixel handset by Samsung, following the Symbian-powered Samsung i8510 INNOV8. The name of the handset which was called Bresson before, is now told as M8800. This handset is not a smartphone and has no keyboard and instead a 3.2-inch touchscreen display.
The Samsung M8800 has the same TouchWiz interface as the Samsung Omnia and Samsung F480 Tocco. True, it’s not a smartphone, but the Samsung M8800 has an impressive specs sheet, which includes goodies such as:
- Quad-band GSM, tri-band HSDPA
- 107.9×54.6×14.9mm, 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 (720×480 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
- Office document viewer
Only negative feature is the lack of Wi-Fi which is also bad reputation against its rival LG KC910 Renoir. As for the release date, the Samsung M8800 Pixon will be available as soon as 10 November 2008 and its price will be around 550 euros. Here’s the official Samsung promo video of the Samsung M8800.
