Samsung PIXON
Samsung are not wasting a minute as they stride towards 2009.
The Samsung Pixon M8800 is a true epiphany of 8 mega pixel camera bliss, and can only signal a very short swift life span for their own Samsung Innov8. Okay, the Samsung Innov8 is the first 8 mega pixel camera to hit the streets of the UK, but you can’t help but notice the shear bulk and weight it carries. I bet none of you can name the first England football manager, but I doubt any of you have never heard of Sir Alf Ramsey. Hopefully you can see where I’m going with this, if not, what I’m trying to say is that although the Samsung Innov8 was first, the Samsung Pixon M8800 will be the one the record books acknowledge.
The pre-market name for the Samsung Pixon M8800 was the Samsung Bresson, rumoured to be associated with Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer considered the father of modern photojournalism. Which given the handsets purpose and appeal, is very fitting.
What do we know about the Samsung M8800 though, apart from I have one and won’t be giving it back, ever? Personally I’m a big fan of camera phones, especially given the convenience factor, but I often take a blurred photo when friends move any faster than a sloff. So imagine my huge pleasure when presented with an 8-mega-pixel Samsung Pixon camera phone with every camera function under the sun, whilst being more compact then a Nokia N96. To prove this point, the Samsung Pixon is 15.5mm thick, whilst a Nokia N96 is 18mm, a Sony C905 18.5mm, and finally a Samsung Innov8 is 17.2mm.

The Samsung Pixon touch screen accelerator interface is effortless and responsive, which is a far cry from many handsets on the market. Whilst the 3.2 inch 16 million pixel colour display shows excellent photos, it also supports and runs full HD TV viewing. So regardless of your entertainment demands, the Samsung Pixon M8800 is capable of occupying any preferences with the highest of competences. Films, pictures, games, and music are masterly delivered through a collection of new hardware and software advancements to the Samsung range.


SAMSUNG PIXON - New Samsung Phone with 8MP Camera
Additional ‘extras’ to this Samsung Pixon touch screen marvel include new improved office interaction applications, GPS mapping, serious music capabilities, Instant Messaging, and high speed downloads.
Ultimately, this new Samsung Pixon flagship handset demonstrates a new dominance of the touch screen market for Samsung, whilst delivering camera capabilities far beyond anything they have previously brought to market. The Samsung Pixon M8800 will be a mobile phone are great reckoning, and the 8 mega camera is superior to anything we have reviewed to date.
The Pixon has pretty standard looks for a phone whose front is dominated by a large touchscreen. The Call and End buttons and a round back key are squeezed into a tiny panel along the bottom edge of the front fascia. The predominance of black is predictable enough, and visually there are distinct similarities to other Samsung handsets such as the Omnia i900.
Samsung Pixon Review
The plastic casing won’t be to all tastes, though it does help keep this Samsung Pixon phone’s weight down to an acceptable 122g. Size-wise Samsung Pixon is a bit of a chunky mobile to carry around at 107.9mm tall, 54.6mm wide and 13.8mm thick. However, compare that to the Renoir (107.8mm tall, 55.9mm wide, 13.95mm thick, 110g) and the i8510 (106.5mm tall, 53.9mm wide, 17.2mm thick 136g) and you find that Samsung Pixon is pretty much par for the course for this kind of spec of phone.
There is a hold button on the left edge along with a switcher key that’ll call up a grid of six shortcuts. Four shortcuts take you to apps - messaging, the browser, the call screen and music player. The other two shortcuts are a back button and the main menu shortcut.
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. Meanwhile, the right edge has a volume rocker which doubles as a zoom manager in the camera, a shortcut key to the photo album and the obligatory camera key.
On the top edge is one of the things I like least about Samsung Pixon phone. Samsung’s multifunction port. You use this to administer mains power, connect to a PC and connect headphones. The good news is that the provided headset has a 3.5mm connector just past the microphone so you can substitute your own headphones for the provided in-ear buds if you want to, but I’d have preferred a 3.5mm connector on the Samsung Pixon phone itself.
