CES report
With the introduction of the Samsung G600 in July 2007 everybody was convinced it would take a while for Samsung to introduce a new five Megapixel camera mobile. How could we get it so wrong, because at the end of October 2007 the Samsung G800 was already available for checking out at a Dutch dealer event. The SGH-G800 is unique in its class thanks to its three times optical zoom and face detection. According to Samsung the G800 has been equipped with a camera that can fully compete with a regular digital compact camera. Samsung also claim that the Samsung G800 leaves all mobile phone competitors far behind. Read the Samsung G800 review at LetsGoMobile to find out if Samsung truly is able to fulfil all the promises they made.

Samsung G800 compact camera - 5 Megapixels
Pictures can be made with the use of the five Megapixel auto focus digital camera. The camera offers an auto focus assist lamp, a xenon flash, face detection and image stabilization. We can say without exaggerating, that the Samsung G800's camera is currently the most advanced camera inside a mobile phone. The possibility to zoom in three times optically enhances the photographic possibilities. This way distant objects can be captured without any quality loss. This is a true advantage compared to the competitors with digital zoom.

G800 Samsung digital camera - Face detection
LetsGoMobile says: "The camera of the Samsung G800 has been equipped with face detection. When this function is activated, the camera will recognize faces. The additional selection box around the face will indicate the camera recognized the face. Sometimes face detection takes quite a while to find a face. This delay probably occurs because face detection is carried out by software instead of hardware. On most compact cameras face detection is processed by hardware or in any case further developed and therefore a lot faster."

Samsung G800 cell phone review
The SGH-G800 houses an enhanced multimedia player. The Samsung G800 in combination with for instance a 2GB microSD memory card will offer you a real multimedia centre. Music as well as videos can be played on the Samsung G800. The included earplugs produce an excellent sound of high quality. Interested in the findings of LetsGoMobile?
