Samsung i710 7.2megapixel Camera Phone

Samsung’s i710 is the best camera you could get on a mobile phone right now. You might confuse this with the 2 megapixel Chinese version released in February. The two phones have the same exterior and differ mainly on the megapixel count. It’s a quadband GSM 85 /GSM 900/GSM 1800/GSM 1900 phone and according to Mobilewhack, the i710 has a 3-inch 240 x 320 pixels display. We don’t see much of the 7.2 megapixel in evidence, though, but if the Mobilewhack post were to be believed, the phone plays MP3 as well as MP4 video file at 15fps. The 7.2MP camera on this phone is supposed to have face recognition capabilities and could tale portraits like a real pro. It all sounds good, yet we do wonder why, besides the Mobilewhack site, this phone isn’t making any headlines. This Samsung has 2.2 megapixel over the N95’s 5 megapixel and the N95 was all over the blogosphere as well as tech sites and the more mainstream news sites. I even looked at the source page thatv Mobilewhack credits, which is also Samsung’s official sites. Nope, no 7.2 megapixel camera phone there.
