Samsung G800, 5 MP camera equipped phone officially launched

We’ve already wrote about the Samsung G800 couple of times. The beautiful slider is best known for its 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and Xenon flash — something that even Nokia’s N95 and Sony Ericsson’s K850i lack. Actually both devices lack optical zoom, but the K850i has a Xenon flash light.

Anyway, the G800 is now official announced in Europe and will go on sale somewhere next month. We don’t know the exact date, nor the price. However, we DO know that if you jump-in, you’ll get the solid 3G device (HSDPA) that among other things packs the 2.4″ 262K color QVGA screen, Bluetooth 2.0, media player and the microSD slot. As for the camera software, Samsung said their algorithms provide digital image stabilization, red-eye reduction, wide dynamic range and face recognition capability. Nice!

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
