Samsung Pixon 12 Review

Posted on 19th February 2010 by regulars in Mobile Phone Reviews,Samsung Mobile Phones

This Samsung Pixon 12 review reveals a camera with a phone attached, which is sure to make you the David Bailey of the mobile world. Not only does it house an incredible 12-megapixel camera but also has many other high-end features.  A 3G touchscreen with excellent audio player, FM radio, web browser, GPS with Google maps, and a memory card that takes the capacity up to 16GB.

Samsung has upgraded the original Pixon to include a high resolution OLED screen, ability to play DivX/Xvid videos, LED flash, wider angle lens and a video shoot speed of 30 frames per second or 120 FPS at lower resolution, giving you slow motion playback. They have included a secondary front facing camera too for video conferencing. It has dedicated camera buttons on the side for on/off and zoom/ wide-angle buttons, all raised so they are easy to find.

Other features on the Pixon 12 are a virtual QWERTY keyboard, with its good quality connectivity Bluetooth, mini USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi as well as a fast Internet connection. The 3.1-inch screen is ample size for films, video playback and games and gives plenty of room to use the keyboard.

Criticisms of the Pixon are its lack of a 3.5mm jack point and its battery is a little weak and in need of regular recharging. This is to be expected with the large screen and especially if you use the flash a lot.  The Pixon is not a smartphone, and while the complex camera will appeal to photography enthusiasts, but there are other phones available with its other high quality features.
