Samsung Pixon 8 Megapixel Camera Phone

Samsung has officially announced the launch of its new Pixon Camera Phone having an amazing 8 megapixel shooter with Auto Focus and Face Detection technology. In addition, the Cellphone itself measures a mere 13.8 mm in thickness.

The Samsung Pixon takes photos and automatically Geotags them according to the location you are at. The phone has a 3.2″ touch screen display - same as that of the Nokia tube coming October 2nd. The Phone, Samsung M8800 - Named Pixon - is the second 8 megapixel handset by Samsung, the first being Samsung i8510 INNOV8 which had the Symbian OS.
