Samsung announces 8 megapixel camera-phone module
Get ready to click high resolution super quality cool photos with your mobile phone as the 8 MP cameras in cellphones come close to reality.
Earlier week, Samsung announced in Korea that it has developed a 8 MP cameraphone module. Samsung has demonstrated high end camera integrated phones many times during the last two years in various conferences and trade fairs. But this announcement clearly indicates that the company is ready to go ahead with mass production of the phone soon.
Production of phones with this module is expected to start in 2008 and to be available to the public in high-end phones like SPH-V8200 by end of 2008.
The module has the same footprint as Samsung’s 3.2-megapixel module at 10.5 x 11.5 x 9.4mm. It measures 3264 x 2444 pixels, has autofocus capabilities and will be able to produce 300dpi picture output for prints as large as 10 x 8-inches.
hmmm…Nice article bro…
Hi,
I think it’s great that phone manufacturers are all stepping things up. First, Nokia with the 5-megapixel N95, and now Samsung with an 8-megapixel camera onboard their phone. However, megapixels still don’t ensure quality (that depends on the camera itself, right?), so I’m going to take such promising news with a grain of salt.
By the way, if you’re interested, could we exchange links? Please reply via e-mail.
Thanks,
Herbert
