The world of camera phones has just gotten to a billet more interesting with a Chinese company called Altek who have designed their first ever 12 megapixel camera phone. While that my not seem impressive because the 12.2MP resolution is slowing becoming the new 8MP, this particular handset takes things up a notch by also incorporating 3X optical zoom making it a World’s first. The Huajing Altek Company’s original focus has been in the manufacturing of digital imaging technology. They have now decided to also focus on R & D and manufacturing of the same idea but by incorporating the same into other applications and products like the mobile handset, which only makes sense.

The approximate pricing is said to be around Rs. 22,000. There’s no word on it’s launch in India so we’ll have to wait and see. The real question is weather the T8680 could give Sony Ericsson and Samsung's offerings a run for their money? Stay tuned. |
