By Chris Davies on Monday, Jun 1st 2009 No Comments

samsung pixon 12 1 280x479 Samsung have announced their 12-megapixel cameraphone, the Pixon12 M8910. Controlled via a 3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen, the Pixon12 is a quadband GSM, dualband (900/2100MHz) HSPA device with WiFi and GPS, while its all-important camera has autofocus (controlled by touching the preview screen), subject-tracking, a 28mm wide-angle lens and a combination Xenon and Power LED flash.

As well as 12-megapixel images, the Pixon12 can also shoot 720 x 480 resolution video at up to 30fps, recording to its 150MB of internal storage. Since that’s not going to hold up to many full-resolution pictures there’s a microSD slot happy with up to 16GB cards. Once you’ve snapped, you can upload to Facebook, Flickr and Picasa via Samsung’s SharePix service.

Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) have been showing off their latest AMOLED prototype, a 6.5-inch panel that’s more flexible than any of their previous models.

Samsung I7500 versus HTC Magic photoset

By Chris Davies on Monday, May 18th 2009 No Comments

HTC likely thought there was little that could shadow their Magic launch during the first half of the year, but they didn’t count on the Samsung I7500. Packing a similarly-slimline QWERTY-free chassis and raising the stakes with an AMOLED touchscreen and higher resolution camera, the I7500 has already swayed quite a few people away from the Magic over at Android Community. Now, thanks to CNET Asia, we’ve the first sighting of both smartphones up close with each other.

A second video demo of the Samsung I7500 Android smartphone has emerged, this time the handiwork of Tech65. As we saw in the first video, it’s the AMOLED touchscreen that really makes the I7500 stand out: at 3.2-inches and 320 x 480 resolution it’s the same size and pixel count as on the HTC Magic and T-Mobile G1, but we’re hoping for better overall runtime along with the brighter colors.

When we grabbed some video demo time with the Samsung Omnia HD i8910 at Mobile World Congress back in February, we described the AMOLED touchscreen handset as almost “like a small MID“.

The same team that shot the Samsung I7500 demo video yesterday have followed up with a photo set of the Android smartphone’s controls, ports and connectivity. One shot – of the I7500 with its battery compartment cover removed – shows the GSM SIM slot and microSD card slot, both of which appear to require the battery’s removal before they’re changed.
