Samsung 12-megapixel cameraphone tipped for MWC
SlashGear —
... WiFi, GPS and DivX playback - or a more photography-focused design. Also unclear is what might accompany the new, higher-resolution sensor; we’d presume autofocus and a digital zoom, and hope for a xenon flash.
SlashGear will be at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and you can bet we’ll be all over Samsung to see what exactly they’re bringing to the table. Rumors also suggest a version of their 8-megapixel cameraphone that adds a 3x optical zoom.

I spoke to the Nikon people at CES this year and they all agreed that camera makers are sick of megapixels, but that the buying public just can't get enough. Which is why, in a naive attempt to change this, we go on and on about it. Do not buy this phone.

Tech Ticker —
... out to be true, the Korean company will be credited with another world’s first title. It is expected that Samsung will reveal a 12 megapixel phone at the MWC this month with mass production to begin from the end of Feb and Europe as the first destination.

Samsung deverá lançar cameraphone de 12 megapixels nesta próxima Mobile World Conference
MacMagazine —
... uma lente de ótima qualidade, boas capacidades de zoom, flash poderoso embutido, entre outros recursos, com certeza registrará momentos com uma definição e qualidade bastante superior.
Acho que ainda não chegamos nem perto de uma era em que cameraphones realmente ameaçarão câmeras de verdade (nem que sejam point-n-shoot básicas); o que a Samsung mais almeja, ao meu ver, é o título de primeira empresa a oferecer um produto com tais características.

That’s about all we know as there are no official details about as yet, but one can obviously expect at least the usual GPS geo-tagging and the like. The image though is only a mockup.

Well now, we’ll just have to wait and see wont we. It’s now only just two weeks till the Mobile World Congress, and it’s all set to be an absolute cracker! [image source: unwired ...
