Samsung has released a new Samsung PIXON M8800 8MP camera phone, known as the Samsung Bresson. The handset will be available on November 10th, 2008 for about 550 euros. The camera phone features a built-in GPS receiver, built-in accelerometer, DivX playback, and supports quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA. Some other features include a 3.2-inch touchscreen display (240 x 400 pixels), 8MP camera with auto focus, face recognition, smile detection and blink detection.

If you like one of those who frequently use your mobile phone for taking photos, things just got a little clearer. Samsung recently unveiled what they claim is the world’s thinnest 8MP CMOS designed for use with cellphones.

The device measures just 28mm × 15.3mm × 8.5mm, and the small size is not all. Like many digital cameras, the little photo-taking module features face-detection, anti-shake, ISO 1600 sensitivity and can even detect and automatically snap a photo when it recognizes a smile.
