Honest 836 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 Samsung to Launch 8MP Camera Phone on S60 OS Samsung is reportedly getting ready to launch another Symbian S60 handset to add to their range of handsets that already run on the OS. Personally I couldn't be more thrilled. But according to those reports, the handset is not going to be just any old handset with the ‘same-ole same-ole’ features you’d find in most others the Korean company has come up with in the past. The handset, that’s being called the i8510 (for now) is a slider (no big surprise there) that will be equipped with an 8 megapixel auto-focus camera with a xenon flash. If that doesn’t impress you straight off, the camera will also be able to capture video at 120 fps. It also has a 2.8-inch QVGA display sporting 16 million colors, an optical mouse for navigation, TV out capabilities and should be available in two models – one with 16GB of internal memory and another with 8GB. It has dimensions of 106.5 x 53.9 x 16.9 mm and is shelled inside a metal casing. There’s no official word on the handset from Samsung yet, so there’s no pricing or availability. Stay Tuned.

Honest 836 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 Samsung Launches 8MP Camera Phone i8510 INNOV8 It’s official! Samsung's 8 megapixel camera phone that we saw floating around earlier this month, has been officially announced, say reports. This quad-band GSM handset called the i8510 INNOV8, as in ‘Innovate’, runs on a Symbian S60 smartphone OS (3rd edition Feature Pack 2). The i8510 is equipped with a 2.8-inch QVGA display that supports 16 million colors and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and an accelerometer for automatically adjusting the screen orientation. It comes with a whopping 16 GB and 8 GB of onboard memory so space is not going to be an issue. It will also support external memory via microSD. Other features also include TV out, DivX playback, FM radio with RDS and it's also DLNA compatible. The handset will also be equipped with 128MB of RAM and a 3D graphics accelerator so gaming should be a real ‘blast’. This monster is a fully equipped device featuring inbuilt GPS (A-GPS support also) capabilities, Wi-fi, Bluetooth with A2DP and of course USB 2.0 connectivity as well as 3G with HSDPA support. The i8510 also comes with a geotagging feature for the 8MP auto focus camera that also has an LED flash (WHAT?!!! No xenon???). The camera also has other features like face and smile recognition and an auto panorama mode. Media capabilities include stereo speakers, 3D surround sound effect and DNSe 2.0. Thankfully the i8510 has a standard 3.5mm audio jack and not one of Samsung’s multi utility proprietary ports. The handset will hit Europe first and should be priced at approximately Rs. 51,000 (780 Euro). Courtesy : Tech2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
