Samsung’s 10MP SCH-B600

SamsungMobile Burn looked at the SCH-B600 from Samsung, and while the model number does not sound all that interesting, the actual handset has an interesing feature, a digital camera.

You are probably thinking, “almost all of them have those now”, but do they have 10 megapixel sensors? My dedicated digital camera does not even have that high of a resolution sensor.

This new device for its home Korean market sports a massive 10 megapixel sensor mated to a 3x optical zoom auto-focus lens that telescopes out of the back of the phone when activated - just like a normal, dedicated point and shoot camera. The thing is, even dedicated point and shoot cameras aren’t using 10 megapixel sensors. A microMMC memory card slot offers plenty of expansion for those massive photos.

Even if you ignore the camera, the SCH-B600 still has what most of the world would consider a high-tech feature set. Its display is a 2.2″ QVGA unit that can generate a whopping 16 million colors. It supports the SDMB digital satellite TV system as well as Bluetooth. The media player is capable of playing MP3, AAC, and AAC+ files through the dual built-in stereo speakers. Photos and video clips recorded with the SCH-B600 can be viewed on a TV with the TV-out function.

Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to push this phone into the rest of the world, other than Korea, but I would not be surprised if this sparked other companies to include similar features in their phones.
