Samsung world's first 10 megapixel camera phone

South Korea's Samsung Electronics has started selling what it claims is the world's first 10 megapixel multimedia phone that offers crisp video and top-notch digital camera functions.

"Samsung reinforces its technology leadership by launching the world's first 10 megapixel mobile phone ... in the Korean market," the company said in a statement.

The newest addition to its line of multimedia phones is six millimetres (0.24 inches) thinner and 10 grams (0.35 ounces) lighter than the existing seven megapixel camera handset.

It sets itself apart from its previous megapixel camera phones by combining mobile TV capability at satellite standard, the company said.
It also offers the same level of picture-taking sophistication that a top-notch megapixel digital camera offers.
The front is designed as a bar-type mobile phone, while the back comes with a design reminiscent of a real digital camera.

It will sell for around 900,000 won (937 dollars) in the South Korean market.
