16th October - Samsung reinforces
its technology leadership by launching the world's first
10 megapixel mobile phone (model: SCH-B600) in Korean
market.
Samsung reached another milestone in camera phones
by launching 10 megapixel camera phone, which was unveiled
at CeBIT in March this year. Samsung has been the first
to introduce mobile phone with embedded camera in 2000.
Samsung has also launched the world's first 5 megapixel
camera phone in October 2004 ; the world's first 7 megapixel
camera phone in July 2005.
Samsung's 10 megapixel camera phone (SCH-B600) is 6mm
thinner and 10g lighter than the 7 megapixel camera
phone (SCH-V770) and sets itself apart from its previous
megapixel camera phones by combining mobile TV capability
in Satellite standard.

The B600 offers the same level of picture-taking sophistication
that a 10 megapixel digital camera offers. The camera function
includes 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also has
auto focus and a flash unit that performs optimally for 10
megapixel photographs.
Also, the B600 comes fitted with a LED autofocus feature
which assists users to capture clear, crisp photos even in
dark settings. Located next to the lens, the LED autofocus
automatically determines the distance and utilizes the appropriate
focus setting for optimal photo shooting.
The B600 also supports white balance, manual focus, continuous
picture-taking, and interval picture-taking functions.
It also supports Bluetooth which enables users to send pictures
wirelessly to other mobile phones, printers or to Bluetooth
headsets.
The high color Reproduction TFT-LCD produces the highest
possible display for its size. The photo-fine chromic LCD
can reproduce 16 million colors, virtually any color found
in nature, earning it the "True Color" appellation.
Moving pictures can be recorded in QVGA resolution at 15-30
frames per second. Users can watch live TV in crisp picture
through Satellite DMB function.
It also supports external memory (MMCmicro) in addition to
its internal memory. The mobile phone supports a TV-out function
where users can connect their phones to view still or motion
pictures.
The B600 comes with a design reminiscent of a real digital
camera. The front is designed as a bar-type mobile phone,
while the back side is used as the digital camera.
Other advanced functions in the B600 include an MP3 player,
business card reader, and 128 polyphonic sounds.
The price of B600 is around 900,000 won (about $ 900) in
Korea.
