Samsung 12 Megapixel Camera Cell Phone Set for MWC 2009 Unveiling [World's First 12MP Camera Phone]

Having featured more than a few cell phones that offer all the functionality of fairly reasonably specified point and shoot compact cameras – the latest of note being the 8.1MP Sony CyberShot S001 – rumours just hitting the wires indicate that Samsung are set to up the ante with the apparent unveiling of the world’s first 12 megapixel camera phone at MWC ‘09.

At the time of writing concrete details are in exceedingly short supply, however, according to Telecoms Korea Samsung is not only set to officially announce their new 12MP handset at MWC ‘09 but have already pencilled in production of the new 12MP phone for the end of February with Europe (and not Asia) being the new phone’s initial port of call.

We will, of course, bring you a heads-up the moment any formal announcement is made as well as any press imagery that’s made available (the image above is not the new Samsung 12MP camera phone but is, as the keen eyed amongst you will have noted, the Innov8 that’s been rendered by us for illustrative purposes only).
