Breakthrough from Samsung - M8800 and i8510 / INNOV8

Posted in: GSM News, Rumors |

Samsung pushes the limits…
8Mp - OMG that’s like, a lot of MP inside just a camera phone.

If I were to look at an entry-level DSLR, Canon 1000D with 10Mp and Samsung i8510 with 8Mp , I would say that marketing does horrible things with on-paper specs.
Do you thing that this is it ??
Wait…
I’m just getting started…
Beside the unbelievable 8Mp digital camera, they also promise surround-sound cinematic for videos. Yes - that’s exactly what I was looking for, when I’m on the bus with all people, or on the train, or just in the car with my family. To disturb everybody with a phone that tries to be a 5.1 home cinema system :)

What’s next, oh yes, 3D gaming experience. Well, if you want to play games on the move - go for a PSP or DS. I had Nokia “amazing” NGage2 phone (N81) and it’s not an experience comparable with PSP by far.

Samsung M8800 aka Bresson digital camera phone.

The M8800 concept (coz is still a concept) should be the main rival and response from Samsung for LG Viewty. It should feature a touchscreen, a 3,2″ display 16M colors QVGA, 15.8mm thick and maybe TouchWiz User Interface.

Don’t get me started on LG Viewty, I tested it’s camera capabilities and let’s say that 5Mp do not compare with “old school” Sony Ericsson K750 at overall image quality. Just another on-paper, marketing “victim” for consumers that buy the “image” from commercials without any knowledge about the product.
