M8910 pixon

Samsung have long been rumored to have a 12 megapixel cameraphone in the works. Well, now it sees daylight for the first time - meet the Pixon12 - the first 12MP cameraphone to hit the market, scheduled for a June launch.

The M8910 is the model number standing behind the Pixon12. The new cameraphone pointed as Sony Ericsson Satio (a.k.a. Idou) competitor makes its mark with a 3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a highly advertised 10000:1 contrast.

And taking where the original Pixon left, the Samsun Pixon12 now sports Wi-Fi connectivity along with the GPS receiver.

The Samsung Pixon12 camera goes further in to the mobile photography offering a 28mm wide-angle lens, both a xenon and a power LED flash (how's that for a change), D1 video recording at 30fps, tracking Touch Auto Focus, Smart Auto mode changing with the lighting conditions and all the rest typical high-end camera features such as geo-tagging, face detection, etc.

The rest of the Samsung Pixon12 specs are close to what the the Samsung M8800 Pixon offered - 150MB internal storage and a microSD card slot, HSDPA support and Bluetooth.

The Samsung Pixon12 won't be a smartphone, so expect the usual Samsung TouchWiz UI with some visual upgrades. Responding to the reactions of the end users to the lack of Wi-Fi in the Pixon, Samsung will offer it here in the Pixon12.

Quite unfortunate for all of you that were finally sold after the Omnia HD, the Samsung Pixon12 will be available across the Europe in June and will be expanded worldwide in August to make this summer's cellphone choice that much harder. There is no word on pricing yet.

Sony Ericsson P912 Concept - Touch the Future

29/05/2009 15:08 par slaytane

The Esato concept phones of 2009 thread is more productive than ever and J. Havrlant is at it again, designing this beautiful Sony Ericsson P912 phone. I see a device with a beautiful touchscreen coupled with a form factor that will make movie viewing great and I can suppose that the screen’s resolution is good enough to rival the one of HTC Touch HD.

Of all the things I could love about the P912, what draws my attention are the call/end call buttons from the bottom part… Simply great!

Windows Mobile Phone, It’s All About the Screen

Leave the rugged look of this device aside and have a look at its touchscreen! This Sony Ericsson Windows Mobile concept phone is quite neat-looking, but I have an objection: it seems to end too sudden with the bottom part, as it has no edge. Could it be that the screen also continues on the phone’s lower side?

The design belongs to Weiting Chen and I must mention that I really dig the screen at the back, with its photographing purpose. Aah, now I get it! The display continues all the way to the camera and is in fact on curved screen. Interesting…

XPERIA Concept, Codename Sora

29/05/2009 15:00 par slaytane

XPERIA Sora was yesterday’s hit, created by Razec and published on Esato, but now this concept phone reveals more than meets the eye and earns itself more praise than simply the tag of “mid-end XPERIA”. It comes with the famous panel-based interface, a multimedia/web mode, Windows Mobile 7 and a 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 CPU at its core.

If you thought that XPERIA Sora was all about hot specs, guess again, as the camera on its back is impressive as well. We’re dealing with a 12 megapixels Exmor CMOS sensor that may be more real than we think. Great job Razec, once again!

XPERIA X2 Concept is a Photoshop Beauty

XPERIA X2 concepts were featured on this site at least two times before, but now we’re dealing with a fine piece of work, too hot to be ignored. It’s all about the colors, the Photoshop work and that neat interface. These are really cool color dripping effects, so give the creator of this work, hydro from Esato a big “thumbs up”.

Sony Ericsson P902 2009 Concepts Start Pouring

29/05/2009 14:56 par slaytane

When we’re hungry for fresh technology and new designs what community do we visit? The Esato board, where usually we find a bunch of talented people who are willing to design future and gorgeous Sony Ericsson handsets just out of pure passion. Now, there’s a Sony Ericsson 2009 Concepts thread open, so we’re in for some fresh devices.

We break the ice with none other than J. Havrlant, who designed the Retro P902 concept shown below and the beautiful Sony Ericsson W905 handset from two days ago.

W905 Features 480 x 800 Display, 16GB Internal Memory

Although Sony Ericsson has just launched the W705 handset, we’re more interested in the W905 handset that has just hit our virtual world of concepts, courtesy of J. Havrlant. And what a music phone this is… 480 x 800 pixels display, Walkman v4.0, 16GB internal memory, A300 platform and tons of other specs you’ll find out after the break.
Sony Ericsson W905 supports Wi-Fi b/g, GPS, HSDPA, HSUPA, Bluetooth 2.1 and incorporates loud stereo speakers, a 3.5mm jack and TV out for those of you telly addicts. The 5 megapixel camera with autofocus is the least we’d expect from SE right now, but know that it also comes with an LED flash and VGA video recording. I guess that this would be the XpressMusic series killer, if it were real…

“Less is More” Concept is an MP3 Player/Keychain, Maybe Phone

29/05/2009 14:48 par slaytane

Although this is a concept phone more than everything else, it tends to act like an MP3 player rather than a handset. Notice the minimalist looks of this Sony Less is More design, but maybe you’ve got the point by reading its name… There’s a hole at the bottom of the device, which can be used for system navigation or as a simple keychain.
The features of the Less is More concept are quite basic: voice recording, microphone, memory card slot, OLED display, a decent speaker and IRDA support. I still can’t quite figure out where the display is…
