If you're a shutterbug, the Samsung Pixon is one phone to long for. A 3.2-inch, 240-by-400-pixel touch screen and an 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus put this model at the top of our list of 2009 phones to long for.
It also has a macro mode, and a dual power LED flash. Shake reduction helps you avoid fuzzy photos, while face and smile detection help you ensure you get good shots of people. There is another feature called Face Link which lets you tag people in a photo and then search for pictures by name. Oh, and as well as sorting photos by face tag you can sort them by time taken and colour.
The phone's GPS antenna caters for geo tagging also.
The device is designed keeping in mind people with photography in mind, the Pixon delivers dual-power LED flash, advanced shake reduction, face detection, Smile Shot technology and a photo browser with an accelerometer sensor (for tilt and flip).
There is also a microSD card slot on this edge which you can use to boost the 200MB of built-in storage. You get a 1GB microSD card with the phone This enables picture storage in it.
Image quality can be very good indeed. The macro mode proved to be the best element of all. The carnivorous plant was photographed very close up and the individual globs of sticky, insect catching gum are beautifully rendered.
The Pixon's other media capabilities are not to be overlooked. It can record video at a resolution of 720 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second, or 120 frames per second at QVGA (1280 by 960) quality, and it can decode SRS Virtual 5.1 audio.
The 13.8mm-thick Samsung Pixon can also provide high-speed mobile Internet via its 7.2-mbps HSDPA connectivity.
In terms of general usability this is my favourite 8-megapixel handset to date. The Pixon brings these parameters to new heights.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=0d12e05b-6728-431e-9946-1a42a2c1aadc)
