`
`Samsung reinforces its technology leadership by launching the world's first 10 megapixel mobile phone (model:
`SCH-B600) in Korean market.
`
`
`
`
`
`Samsung reached another milestone in camera phones by launching 10 megapixel camera phone, which was
`unveiled at CeBIT in March this year. Samsung has been the first to introduce mobile phone with embedded
`camera in 2000. Samsung has also launched the world's first 5 megapixel camera phone in October 2004 ; the
`world's first 7 megapixel camera phone in July 2005.
`
`
`
`
`Samsung's 10 megapixel camera phone (SCH-B600) is 6mm thinner and 10g lighter than the 7 megapixel
`camera phone (SCH-V770) and sets itself apart from its previous megapixel camera phones by combining
`mobile TV capability in Satellite standard.

`camera function includes 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also has auto focus and a flash unit that
`performs optimally for 10 megapixel photographs.
`
`
`
`
`
`Also, the B600 comes fitted with a LED autofocus feature which assists users to capture clear, crisp photos
`even in dark settings. Located next to the lens, the LED autofocus automatically determines the distance and
`utilizes the appropriate focus setting for optimal photo shooting.
`
`
`
`
`
`The B600 also supports white balance, manual focus, continuous picture-taking, and interval picture-taking
`functions.
`
`
`
`
`
`It also supports Bluetooth which enables users to send pictures wirelessly to other mobile phones, printers or to
`Bluetooth headsets.
`
`
`
`
`
`The high color Reproduction TFT-LCD produces the highest possible display for its size. The photo-fine chromic
`LCD can reproduce 16 million colors, virtually any color found in nature, earning it the "True Color" appellation.
`Moving pictures can be recorded in QVGA resolution at 15-30 frames per second. Users can watch live TV in
`crisp picture through Satellite DMB function.
`
`
`
`
`
`It also supports external memory (MMCmicro) in addition to its internal memory. The mobile phone supports a
`TV-out function where users can connect their phones to view still or motion pictures.
`
`
`
`
`
`The B600 comes with a design reminiscent of a real digital camera. The front is designed as a bar-type mobile
`phone, while the back side is used as the digital camera.
`
`
`
`
`
`Other advanced functions in the B600 include an MP3 player, business card reader, and 128 polyphonic
`sounds.
`
`
`
`
`The price of B600 is around 900,000 won (about $ 900) in Korea.
