The latest mobile device from Samsung is generating a lot of interest as this phone is reportedly the first of its kind to be released into the market. The Samsung Pixon 12 sports a 12MP snapper – the largest capacity camera on a phone, so far. Now by no means are we saying that the snapper on the Pixon 12 is anywhere near the quality that a high-end photographer’s camera offers. But if the Samsung Pixon 12 is indeed all it’s touted to be, then even a photographer won’t mind using the camera phone to snap pictures.
First of all, the camera has a wide angle lens – 28 millimeters to be exact. This enhances perspective considerably plus it allows for as much of a scene to be captured by the camera. The camera’s Xenon and power LED flash will also undoubtedly contribute to image quality.
Samsung pulled all the stops with this mobile’s camera. It boasts of touch AF tracking where you can tap on a part of an image to choose that as a focal point. The phone locks on that area so that you don’t have to re-tap on the image in case your hand shakes when taking pictures. The Smart Auto function makes the camera an “intelligent” tool as this enables the phone to adopt to background and lighting conditions so that results are still of high quality.
Organising and managing your images has never been easier on the Pixon 12. You can sort your photos in different ways: by file name, rating, tags and time. Multiple selection is a handy application as you get to extract images by group to view or edit them. This beats having to look at images one by one. Because of these features alone, I may have to give up on my previous Samsung favourite, the Omnia. I wonder how the Sony Ericsson Satio will do when pitted against the Pixon 12?
