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.
