Incredible Samsung SGH-Z710 from 3GSM

Samsung SGH-Z710

While the cameras in most cell phones outside of Japan and Korea are struggling to get to 2.0 megapixel resolution, Samsung has announced the SGH-Z710 3G calmshell from 3GSM, sporting a 3.2 megapixel snapper, along with a whole host of other features.

The Samsung SGH-Z710 will remind many of the Sharp 903, with its swivel screen and shiny black color, and this comparison is not without merit. Both 3G handsets contain a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, a large QVGA screen, and document viewer applications, though the Samsung SGH-Z710 takes it a step further - adding an external screen, more on board memory, and business card recognition and crams it all into a device that is much smaller and lighter than Sharp's effort. The Samsung SGH-Z710 also includes support for MP3/AAC/AAC+/e-AAC+ music, has dual speakers, supports TV output, and microSD memory expansion.

Expect the incredible Samsung SGH-Z710 during Q2 this year for the European market.
