samsung-pixon-12-phoneYep, the Samsung Pixon12 (the 12 being 12MP camera!) is going to launch August 1st at Phones4U – and you can pre-order now!

As Phones4U sums up nicely:

The Samsung Pixon 12 is set to be the first all Touchscreen handset to be released incorporating a 12MP digital camera.The specification of the picture taking technology contained within this handset is quite simply breathtaking and includes a host of new innovative features that will ensure the results are equally so.

  • 12 Megapixel Digital Camera
  • AMOLED Touchscreen
  • Touch Autofocus Tracking
  • Geo-tagging
  • DivX/Xvid video player

The smart-auto mode is a great feature which automatically selects the correct scene mode based on the subject placed in front of you. Another great feature is the touch-autofocus tracking that tracks the subject and ensures it stays in focus no matter how boisterous they become. Face, Blink and Smile detection are all clever little additions that will only aid your task.

Its easy to think Samsung have put all their eggs in one basket in the Pixon 12, but this handset contains other great features. A fantastic AMOLED 3.1 inch touchscreen offers amazing image clarity & share options including bluetooth, geo-tagging and MMS.

In short this is going to be a very media-friendly device, with what I’d expect to be a superb camera – Megapixels aren’t everything, but you’d think Samsung have nailed the image quality if they are touting these kinds of stats…. we’ll see in a couple of weeks!

You can pre-order the Pixon12 here.

Thanks to Ron for the heads-up!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
