Samsung officially announced the launch of the Samsung G800, world’s first 5 megapixel camera phone with 3x optical zoom today. Features such as face detection, and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) are also equipped in the new Samsung G800. Boasting 3x optical zoom and Xenon flash to enable close-ups and exceptional photo detail, the G800 also comes with other most up-to-date digital camera features such as panorama shots, multi shots and macro shots. The Samsung G800 offers professional video editing functions so that people can easily cut, paste, and edit their own films. A mobile blogging feature helps users to upload their favorite User Created Contents (UCC) site very easily. Supporting High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), the photos or videos can be sent to others very quickly.

A sleek camera phone, the Samsung G800 looks like a streamlined digital camera on one side and a fashionable mobile phone on the other side. Elegantly equipped with multimedia features, the G800 still has a sophisticated design. The Samsung G800 will be supported by a major advertising campaign across Europe and will be available in European countries from November.
