Samsung unveiled the innov8 (i8510) 8MP camera phone. The Samsung innov8 will be actually available globally starting August. It took 3 years for Samsung to release an 8MP camera phone outside of Korea. In 2005 Samsung announced the SPH-V8200, which was the first 8MP camera phone.

Samsung already has announced a 10MP camera phone back in 2006 with the B600. Then somehow the resolution race stopped for camera phones. It is also today known that a resolution of 8MP is way sufficient and that it is more important how big and sensitive the CCD is. Additionally the processing around taking a photo has become the driving factor for image quality. Sensitivity and flash functionality have been the biggest issue with camera phones so far.
