After Samsung pre-announced the Pixon 8 megapixel camera phone in Russia last week, the company have now issued a worldwide press release for the new camera phone announcement. Being the world’s slimmest full-touch 8-megapixel camera phone, the Samsung Pixon boasts a 13.8mm slim design as well as other features like 16x digital zoom, auto-focus, fast-shutter, face detection and geo-tagging.
Geesung Choi, President of the Samsung Telecommunications Business, said “Now everyone will be able to ‘get their pics on’ so much more quickly and easily. For the first time you will have a camera on your phone capable of delivering the quality of image of a regular camera. The big benefit is not just the ease with which people will now be able to capture and share camera-phone shots, but the quality of those shots when taken.”
The Samsung Pixon will be available first in France in mid-October and soon to be available in most of European countries and Asian countries.

According to mobile-review, Samsung M8800 has been officially announced today, as what we heard in the rumor. It is not branded as Samsung Bresson series though (could be a codename), Samsung M8800 is the first Pixon series which you will see more products coming up next year with high megapixel camera capability. Mobile-Review has now posted their review in english.
The Samsung Pixon M8800 is a Quadband GSM phone, it supports HSDPA connection, GPS but do not have a built in WiFi. The built in GPS is being limited in its functionality though, you can use it in geo-tagging your photo but can not be used for GPS Navigation according to mobile-review. The 8 megapixel camera module is able to record video in either 720×480 pixels (30 FPS), VGA (30 FPS) or QVGA (120 FPS) resolution. A flash LED is can be used in low light condition. Here is the summary on its 8 megapixel camera module.
Since the Samsung M8800 is one of the most affordable 8 Mpix solutions around, it wouldn’t surprise us if its camera was somewhat subpar. However, it holds its own against the Sony Ericsson C905 and even manages to offer slightly juicier colors, and more aggressive image processing algorithms (the same thing that Nokia does with its imaging-centric phones). However, the M8800 tends to focus on the central part of the image, and doesn’t provide the same level of detail for the background and flanks. All in all, we couldn’t pick the winner, even after taking a series of shots with these phones - neither of them had a perfect score
Running a similar native Samsung OS as Samsung F480, TouchWiz UI is available on the 3.2-inch WQVGA display screen (240 x 400). There are up to 20 widgets available for you to add them on the display screen. There are also 4 overlay shortcut buttons at the bottom of touch screen, allow you to quickly activate the functions you need. Unlike Samsung Omnia, M8800 do not have the virtual QWERTY keyboard.
The Samsung Pixon M8800 will start shipping as early as November 10th and cost about 550 euro.
