8MP camera phones: Samsung Innov8 & SE C905





A new frontier in the mobile phone wars has been set up as eight megapixel camera phones are going to hit the high street.

Currently the highest megapixel count – the number of dots, measured in millions, that make up an image – sported by a camera phone is five available in most of the leading phone manufacturers like Nokia, SE, Samsung etc.

Samsung will raise the bar by a further three million pixels this evening as it launches its new Innov8 mobile phone, the first eight megapixel phone to reach the UK. The Innov8, which hits shelves on September 1 is offered free on Orange £35 contracts. With face, smile and blink recognition (meaning the photograph will not take if someone is blinking, for example, or unless the person is smiling) as well as the ability to load photos straight to the web, Samsung is taking on even the mid-range digital cameras.

Sony Ericsson, which had released the news earlier of a phone with more than 5MP camera, is due to enter the fray at the end of October with its feature rich 8.1 megapixel C905, the newest entry in its Sony Cybershot phone range, Other handset makers, including Nokia and LG, are expected to follow before long.

I agree that it is a good phone. But, technology keeps on changing and any gadget has to pave way for a newer, more powerful and efficient technology.

As much as i love samsung phones and i am very attached to mine, samsung has become a company that tries to "recreate" phones rather than just create their own designs and innovations.

They always attempt to make a samsung version of any great phone: the RazR, iPhone, Helio, etc.

I understand their self-innovated phones were not a hit. However, things have changed since then and I'm sure they can figure out something original, no?

Great post!
