Photographer’s Choice - SAMSUNG Anycall G808

First 5.0 Mega-pixel camera phone with 3x Optical Zoom optimized for genuine photography

(Hong Kong) – Samsung Electronics announced the launch of the most powerful handset to their photography range, SAMSUNG Anycall G808 – a manifestation of the company’s quest for perfection in both performance and style and commitment to bringing mobile users greater visual experiences.

The crowning feature of the G808 is its powerful, advanced imaging functionality. The first 5.0 Mega-pixel CMOS camera phone to support a 3x Optical Inner Zoom, the G808 gets closer to photograph subjects without sacrificing clarity or image resolution, allowing customers to freely capture their most treasured moments.

With the powerful built-in Xenon flash, pictures can be taken even in unfavorable lighting conditions. Face Detection instantly recognizes faces in the scene and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure beautiful renditions of people shots. While the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature ensures that photos taken in backlit or high contrast conditions come out looking great, this latter feature automatically adjusts to different degrees of brightness and preserves image data in bright highlights to reveal more details in shadows or backlit areas. During outdoor shooting, this useful function masterfully adjusts between light and dark.

With these and other features, such as Auto-Focus, Red Eye Reduction mode and Multi-shooting mode (such as Panorama, Multi-Shot and Macro shots), the G808 is designed to satisfy the most discerning of digital photography enthusiasts.

This model will also be a big hit with bloggers as its powerful Mobile Blog function makes it easier to upload video content to the Web and share with friends and family. With the G808, budding digital moviemakers can directly edit their creations with its video-editing functions, making use of a range of effects such as background music.

Targeting digital entertainment aficionados, the G808 exudes a sleek and cool design. The back of the phone includes elements, inherent to advanced camera bodies – a metallic touch and feel finishing, as well as its camera lens. All these are protected by a sliding cover just like a pocket digital cameras. The G808 is held horizontally on a 2.4” 262K QVGA large display to ensure a wider screen for photos, videos and Web page viewing.
The G808 is also equipped with a multi-format music player that supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, e-AAC+ and WMA music files.
