Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

With a 3.1″ 16M-color resistive AMOLED touchscreen of 800 x 480 pixel resolution, the Samsung Pixon12 can be easy a rival for any iPhone 3G.Anyway, the 12 megapixel auto focus camera with LED and xenon flash, 28mm (30mm effective) wide-angle variable aperture lens can`t be in competion. Wgat do you think ? Other  Pixon12 specification includes TouchWiz 2.0 powered 3.1 inch AMOLED  screen ,A-GPS ,TV out 150MB internal memory with support for external cards upto 16GB etc. Camera quality for still images is awesome .But Like its predecessor , Samsung Pixon12 is doesn’t have smartphone capabilities .
