Invasion of the 3 Megapixel camera phonesBy Jørgen Sundgot, Tuesday 14 February 2006
Planning on buying a camera phone? Holding on a little longer might be wise, as 3-Megapixel offerings from Nokia, Samsung, BenQ-Siemens and Motorola are just around the bend.

It would be easier listing features excluded from the N80 rather than those included, but here goes: a super high-resolution, 2.1-inch screen; 3G with video calling; Wi-Fi 802.11b/g; Bluetooth with stereo audio streaming support; a stereo FM radio; USB 2.0 and miniSD card memory expansion. Its 3 Megapixel camera, however, is the star of the show, tieing neatly in with UPnP support to enable streaming of snapshots to media extenders in your home network. Due out this March at an estimated retail price of €500 EUR. More...

Unsurprisingly, Samsung - known for its Korea-only imaging monsters which currently max out at eight Megapixels - is also included on the list with its SGH-Z710, toting a 3.2 Megapixel camera. As with the N80, features abound, including a stereo FM radio, music player, 2.15-inch swivel screen and 3G connectivity. Connectivity options include Bluetooth and USB, while a microSD card slot offers extension beyond the 128 MB of on-board memory. Due out this summer, its price tag remains a mystery - but it does have a Microsoft Office file viewer. More...

Not content with merely being among the first 3 Megapixel camera phones, the BenQ-Siemens EF91 aims high with the inclusion of HSDPA - an improvement on UMTS based 3G which, in the case of this handset, will let owners download a MP3 tune in 8 seconds. Its 2-inch, high-resolution display doubles as a viewfinder for the camera, and there's also the obligatory music player, complete with Bluetooth stereo audio streaming and microSD card expansion. Like the SGH-Z710, it's due out this summer; pricing unknown. More...

Announced nearly a full year ago, Motorola's E1120 was the first 3 Megapixel camera phone to be unveiled - but won't hit shelves until later this summer with a price tag that's - you guessed it - unconfirmed. We do know, however, that it will be autofocus equipped, carry a 3G graphics accelerator for hardcore mobile gamers, sport 3G with video calling and rely on microSD cards for added memory. For the audibly inclined, it also incorporates an audio player, dual stereo speakers and virtual surround sound. More...
