The Samsung SCH-W880 Phone Camera – The 12mp Compact Camera Takes HD Vids and Calls Home

by Jay Garrett on September 28, 2009

Samsung seems confused.

It appears that it wants to pitch its upcoming SCH-W880 as a replacement for your digital camera.

On first looking at the pics it looks just like any other compact snapper

Until you find out that it’s actually supposed to be a mobile phone!

The W880 has more selling points than its high-res camera sensor and optical zoom you know!.

Although; the phone’s camera features do include a camera mode dial and dedicated shutter button, 12 megapixel sensor with HD video recording, and that 3x optical zoom.

But – Apart from its clearly camera-focused (arf!) design, the Samsung SCH-W880 also features:

• 3.3 inch AMOLED WGA screen.
• UMTS/HSDPA connectivity.
• Wi-Fi
• GPS
• Bluetooth
• Slot for microSD cards.
• HD video at 30fps
• Macro mode.
• Xenon flash.

So – is it a camera first and phone second or vice versa?
