H igh resolution digital cameras are no longer an exception on mobile phones. It started a few years ago with an integrated VGA camera, which we thought to be very innovative at the time.

Samsung HD review - Recording High Definition videos

The HD in the model name refers to High Definition video quality. High definition video comes in several formats, namely 720p (1280x720) and 1080p/1080i (1920x1080). The latest version is Full HD, which features the maximum resolution. This high-quality video does require more storage capacity, hence the Blu-Ray disk. The Samsung i8910 is able to capture HD videos with a maximum resolution of 1280x720. A 40-second movie requires approximately 50MB. This way, you don't just own a digital camera, but also a genuine camcorder.

The center button below the screen serves to return one step, and by keeping it pressed longer, you will get to the activated applications.
