They named this thing the Pixon. You know what that means? It means this is not a phone with a camera. It is a camera with a phone.

It sure looks pretty though...

That's a sweet phone, the coolest feature with these new samsung phones has to be the smile detection. Instead of conventional timers it senses when you smile and takes the picture as soon as you smile.

I don't really like the Vista-esque interface though they could have done better.

The question really is whether the phone really needs a 12 megapixel camera. In reality, unless you plan to totally replace your digital camera with a camera phone, it wouldn't really be a good idea. One of the main problems would be battery consumption, since the flash would require a high level of electrical energy to power. Also, as a result of putting a 12 megapixel camera inside a small mobile phpone, it would not produce an image of the same quality and clarity as a dedicated digital camera, especially when compared to the Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras (DSLRs). Another downside would be the cost of this new phone, making it cheaper to purchase separately a phone and a digital camera.

I really happy with phone with 12 Megapixel. Wow !! it is much interesting taking photos with such mobile and not need to carry digital camera.
I think it is difficult to protect longer battery life in mobile due to we listen music, see videos, plays games and camera flash but if I have a stuff battery the problem will be solve and battery is cheaper than digital camera..

I've heard of this for a while. It's not really news but yes, it's awesome how it has such quality
