 Samsung Press Release Summary:
SEOUL, KOREA, Oct 10th, 2006: 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.
