Furthermore, the G800’s camera also offers video capture capabilities alongside the advantages of face detection technology, Xenon flash, Wide Dynamic Range, and video editing functions for the cutting, pasting, and editing of self-made films and clips."As multi-megapixel camera phones become more and more popular, the needs of actual digital camera-like features grow together. Samsung’s G800 will satisfy the unmet needs in the camera category with a true digital camera-like design and functionality," commented Geesung Choi, president of Samsung’s Telecommunication Network. "The G800 will enable users to capture and share precious moments in their daily lives through the enhanced camera functions in a fast 3G network." Delivering ‘first of its kind’ technology, Samsung’s new handset is being positioned as the answer to customers’ needs when it comes to having "the perfect digital camera and the perfect multimedia mobile" melding into a single cutting-edge device. Beyond the user-friendly 3x optical zoom and Xenon flash to help users accurately capture close-ups and extreme photographic detail, the new G800 also delivers other attractive features usually found on digital cameras, including macro, multi, and panoramic shots.Equipped with a sizeable 2.4-inch QVGA LCD display screen, the sleekly designed G800 supports HSDPA and has a new Graphical User Interface (GUI), which will help users better capture the hardware experience of a traditional digital camera. It also includes a mobile blogging feature that allows user to effortlessly upload to their favourite ‘User Created Contents (UCC) site. The Samsung G800 will arrive across European regions this coming November, and will be accompanied by a major advertising campaign. Prices have not yet been confirmed.
