Samsung SCH-W880 M8920 Camera Phone [Samsung 12MP W880 PhoneCamera With 3.3-inch AMOLED & 3x Optical Zoom]

I remember the days when I wanted a mobile phone with a camera to take pictures wherever I was. But they never had the quality I was looking for, so that’s when I bought a digital camera, too. However, looking at the newly announced Samsung SCH-W880, it certainly looks like a capable device that will act both as a mobile phone and a camera.

Looking more like a digital camera with a phone, the new Samsung W880 is probably a follow up to the company’s Pixon 12. Hence why there’s a 12 megapixel resolution camera with a 3x optical zoom, that should deliver higher quality pictures than the average handsets.

Other than its photo-features, the 3G capable Samsung M8920 (SCH-W880) features a 3.3-inch AMOLED display with WVGA resolution, HD video recording (at 720p, probably), HSDPA data access, GPS,  a microSD for memory expansion, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

No word concerning availability or price, but given the built-in DMB TV tuner, that certainly hints to Korea, so no US and Europe for the new Samsung W880. Doesn’t it?
