Samsung Announces 5MP Camera Phone

So Samsung's in the news yet again with the launch of yet another mobile phone – the SGH G-800. What strikes me as really weird is that this model is supposed to be the successor for the very recently launched G600 mobile. I’m beginning to wonder if the guys down at Samsung have their R & D team working overtime when it comes to releasing newer phone models.

The G800 is another high-end model from Samsung that also features a 5.0 megapixel camera but this baby also has 3x Optical zoom and is an Auto-Focus camera to boot. That’s not all; it also, apparently, has a xenon flash. The lens and flash will be quite snug and well protected by a lid that will slide to the side when you want to get a bit snap-happy.



The G800 is a slider phone that is said to be 3G enabled with other features like Bluetooth, but there’s no information yet on if it’s A2DP compatible, but why wouldn’t it be considering it’s supposed to be a high end model right? It also has USB support, and let’s hope it’s not through a propriety cable this time. It also has stereo speakers and it may also have EDGE with HSDPA.

The price has not been disclosed but rumor has it that it may be available somewhere in the first half of next year. Hopefully sooner. Check out GSM Arena for more info.
