Samsung SCH-B600

News by Michelle Ruhfass on Tuesday October 10, 2006.

Today in Korea, Samsung has announced the commercial availability of the world's first 10 megapixel camera phone, the SCH-B600. The B600 is the next generation of Samsung's 7 megapixel camera phone, the SCH-V770. The new handset is 0.2" (6mm) thinner and weighs a third of an ounce (10g) lighter than its predecessor.

Samsung has come along way from being the first to offer a mobile phone with a camera in 2000, the SCH-V200. The new candy bar styled B600 comes with 3x optical zoom, LED autofocus that automatically determines distance for the perfect photo, a manual focus function, and mobile DMB satellite TV capability. An impressive package for photo and multimedia enthusiasts alike.

Samsung has also thrown in Bluetooth, a 16M color high resolution TFT LCD display, and an MP3 player - just to name a few.

Unfortunately the new SCH-B600 is only available in the Korean market. Pricing is set at 900,000 won, or roughly US$900.
