Samsung 12MP Handset With Optical Zoom Pictures Emerge

It was a little while ago that we got wind of Samsung’s upgrade to the 8 megapixel Pixon, the Pixon12 or M8910 with its 12 megapixel lens. The handset must be still warm off the production line and Samsung has already decided that it’s time for an upgrade. The M8920 is the next 12MP camera phone the company is apparently gearing up to launch according to reports.

While it may seem like it’s just another camera phone with a high megapixel count, Samsung has decided that that was not nearly enough and has upped the specs a bit for the handset’s prime feature. The M8920 is going to be equipped with, wait for it, drum roll please... 3x OPTICAL zoom! A lot of readers have been asking about optical zoom being incorporated and here it is. Aside from that it will also have both LED and Xenon flashes. It makes me wonder what’s going to become of the digicam market.

According to the same reports, other feature will include - internal GPS and Wi-Fi (with support for DLNA). The handset will be using Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz UI and come loaded with 8 Gigs of internalmemory. There’s no other information on any of the other features.

Pricing is yet to be talked of as well. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to see the device at Communicasia later in the month and we’ll have more information on it then, so stay tuned.
