Just yesterday we were talking about Samsung’s latest 12MP camera phone the SCH-W880 that’s been fitted with a 3X optical zoom lens. More news today says that it’s going to be around the South Korean market for awhile in a CDMA state.


The handset features -
  • 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen display (capacitive)
  • 3G capabilities
  • Wi-Fi
  • GPS
  • Bluetooth, USB (micro)
  • 4GB internal memory with microSD card support
The camera is of course the central feature of this handset. It also allows for HD video recording (720p at 30fps). The camera will come with variable aperture settings a Xenon as well as an LED flash. Aside form this being the first ever 12MP camera phone with optical zoom functionality the fact that it records video at the resolution it does is also a first. It seems like it's even designed to look and feel like a digicam with a dial selector for various modes placed on one side.


The European version of the same handset with maybe a few adjustments here and there to suit the crowd will be called the M8920. No word on availability yet.
