Samsung Announce 12 Megapixel Pixon

Sony Ericsson were the first to announce a 12MP camera phone back in February and I didn’t think it would be long before we started to see 12MP camera phones from Samsung and LG. Well here we are just 3 months later and Samsung have just revealed the Pixon12 – their first 12MP touchscreen camera phone.

As well as an increase in the resolution, the Pixon12 will also feature a 28mm wide angle lens, a Xenon flash, a Power LED flash and support D1 Video Recording. (D1 is full TV quality, 720×480 resolution) as well as the range of features already on the Pixon.

The Pixon12 (M8910) has more going for it though than just an improved camera. It has an AMOLED display, which will help improve battery life and give a much crisper, clearer display as well as Wi-Fi – an addition that was missing in the original Pixon.

As with the current model, the Pixon12 won’t be a smartphone, and will run on the same ‘TouchWiz’ interface as the Pixon.

The Samsung Pixon12 is due to be release in June – ahead of the Sony Ericsson Satio (Idou).
