Samsung INNOV8 test

Saturday, January 31st 2009 - 23:45 CET - Comments: 0

A mobile phone and digital photography have become so intertwined over the past few years, that there's no possibility of ever separating them again. A camera simply belongs on a cell phone. It started several years ago with a simple VGA camera, after which it soon became possible to shoot high resolution pictures with a mobile phone. Of course, this is partially marketing strategy; as sometimes, cameras with lesser specifications do turn out to take better pictures.

Samsung INNOV8 camera phone with 8 Megapixels

It may be clear; being the first 8.0 Megapixel digital camera on a mobile phone for the European market is an important feature of the Samsung i8510. The camera application can be activated by pressing the record button. The slide button on the right side lets you select what's next; the video camera, the photo camera or display of the captured pictures or videos. It works exactly like on a regular digital camera. It is easy although annoying at times if you want to make a quick snapshot and the slide button is still on the wrong application.

 

 

Samsung INNOV8 mobile phone functions

The Samsung i8510 INNOV8 is indeed very complete. It standard offers a number of nice and graphically well designed games such as Fifa 2008 and Asphalt 3 and, in addition, a CNN application is available too. The latter shows news items per subject and keeps you updated while on the road. For corporate users, there is a business card reader available in addition to Office support. The phone takes a picture of the business card and the data is managed to be added as a contact at a later stage if required.
