Seoul, Oct 10 2006 (Korea Newswire)-- Samsung reinforces its
technology leadership by launching the world’s first 10
megapixel mobile phone (model: SCH-B600) in Korean market.
Samsung reached another milestone in camera phones by
launching 10 megapixel camera phone, which was unveiled at
CeBIT in March this year. Samsung has been the first to
introduce mobile phone with embedded camera in 2000. Samsung
has also launched the world’s first 5 megapixel camera phone
in October 2004 ; the world’s first 7 megapixel camera phone
in July 2005.
Samsung’s 10 megapixel camera phone (SCH-B600) is 6mm
thinner and 10g lighter than the 7 megapixel camera phone
(SCH-V770) and sets itself apart from its previous megapixel
camera phones by combining mobile TV capability in Satellite
standard.
The B600 offers the same level of picture-taking
sophistication that a 10 megapixel digital camera offers.
The camera function includes 3x optical zoom and 5x digital
zoom.
It also has auto focus and a flash unit that performs
optimally for 10 megapixel photographs.
Also, the B600 comes fitted with a LED autofocus feature
which assists users to capture clear, crisp photos even in
dark settings. Located next to the lens, the LED autofocus
automatically determines the distance and utilizes the
appropriate focus setting for optimal photo shooting.
The B600 also supports white balance, manual focus,
continuous picture-taking, and interval picture-taking
functions.
It also supports Bluetooth which enables users to send
pictures wirelessly to other mobile phones, printers or to
Bluetooth headsets.
The high color Reproduction TFT-LCD produces the highest
possible display for its size. The photo-fine chromic LCD
can reproduce 16 million colors, virtually any color found
in nature, earning it the “True Color” appellation. Moving
pictures can be recorded in QVGA resolution at 15-30 frames
per second.
Users can watch live TV in crisp picture through Satellite
DMB function.
It also supports external memory (MMCmicro) in addition to
its internal memory. The mobile phone supports a TV-out
function where users can connect their phones to view still
or motion pictures.
The B600 comes with a design reminiscent of a real digital
camera. The front is designed as a bar-type mobile phone,
while the back side is used as the digital camera.
Other advanced functions in the B600 include an MP3 player,
business card reader, and 128 polyphonic sounds.
The price of B600 is around 900,000 won (about $ 900) in
Korea.
