The latest mobile from Samsung is due to go on sale this month, The Samsung Pixon, so we thought we would take a look at this new mobile. The Samsung Pixon M8800 comes with an 8 mega pixel camera with a host of features, including auto focus, flash, face/smile/blink detection, the option to take photos in panorama mode, there is also shake reduction and image stabilisation, this sounds more like a digital camera than a mobile phone with all those features, on top of that there is AGPS and geo-tagging. The Samsing Pixon M8800 has a 3.2 inch touch screen, which can display 262,000 colours, connectivity comes in the form of 3G / HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps, strangely enough there is no WiFi. The Samsung Pixon can also shoot video at 30fps at 720 x 480 or a massive 120fps in QVGA, it can also play back a host of video formats, including MPEG4, XviD, DivX and WMV. You also get Bluetooth, USB 2.0, TV out and there is also a microSD card which can take cards up to 8GB. Overall the Samsung Pixon M8800 looks like a great camera mobile phone, the only thing I can see that would let it down is the lack of WiFi, but I suppose this can be forgiven considering the specs on the camera. The Samsung Pixon M8800 will go on sale at the end of the month. Samsung Pixon M8800 Review Review Samsung Pixon M8800 This is a post from Geeky Gadgets . Samsung Pixon M8800

Once upon a time LG wowed us with their Viewty, now the successor; the LG KC910 Renoir is completely blowing us away! This amazing touchscreen phone is jam-packed with everything we want in a phone, camera , and PDA functionality… Yes, when I said jam-packed I wasn’t kidding. The LG KC910 Renoir is a 14mm thick phone that defies its size with its functionality and specs that you would expect in nothing less than a brick-sized phone. The 8 megapixel camera will amaze those who require a decent photographic device as well as a phone. Now you needn’t have 2 separate devices when just this LG KC910 Renoir will impress you with both abilities in one. The camera also comes standard with Auto focus, Manual focus, Image Stabilizer, Face Detection, Smile Detection, Xenon Flash, Schneider-Kreuznach optics, ISO1600, Geo tagging and 16x Digital zoom. In fact, if we have to be honest, this phone carries a camera more technologically advanced than some plain single-device options out there. Along with the amazing photograph taking ability, video can be captured using VGA resolution at an impressive 30fps or in QVGA up to 120fps for an outstanding slow motion effect. If this multi-faceted device hasn’t impressed you yet then you’ll be glad to know it has much more to offer as the LG KC910 Renoir also supports an array of video playback formats such as H.264, MPEG4, WMV, AVI, DivX and Xvid while also keeping in tune with music formats including MP3 , AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA and boasting an FM Radio for people on the go. Luckily you’ll be able to use the 120 MB in-built memory as well as use either a microSD or microSDHC card to further enhance your storage capabilities and this 3G enabled device can utilise GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA 1.8 Mbits, HSDPA 3.6 Mbits, HSDPA 7.2 Mbits. Obviously the usual Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Alarm, Calendar, Calculator, TO-DO, Stopwatch, World Clock , Notes and contact lists you’ve become accustomed to are always there for you to use whenever you need! What I find even better regarding the LG KC910 Renoir , is that all these abilities come crammed in a stunning package. A real piece of art! LG’s KC910 Renoiris expected to ship in October thought, at the time of writing, unit pricing has not been confirmed.
