Samsung G800 (SGH-G800) Preview
Discontinued
/ cancelled 18th October 2007
We don't have all the details of the
Samsung G800 yet, but we do have enough to know
that this is likely to be the camera phone to beat during
2008.
This is a 5 megapixel camera phone,
like the G600,
but we understand the the SGH-G800 has a 3X optical
zoom, plus a Xenon flash. Optical zoom is a very
rare thing to find in a mobile phone camera, but
it is much better and clearer than the standard digital
zoom found in almost everything else. The camera lens
is hidden behind a protective cover when not in use.
It's certainly a 3G phone, and it is
rumoured to be HSDPA capable. We understand that the
240x320 pixel display is 2.6" in size, and the
SGH-G800 also has microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth,
a TV-out port and an FM radio.
There's no word on pricing or availability,
and we can't even speculate if the Samsung G800 will
be available by Christmas or not. However, we think
that the SGH-G800 is likely to cause a stir when it
hits the streets.. we look forward to it.
